Managing Family Communication
With cell phones, busy schedules, and children’s activities
keeping family members informed can be challenging.
Some families use a white board to list each member’s
activities by date and time. Others may use day planners.
Still others write activities on a calendar. Make a
system that works for your family. Find a place to note
each family member’s schedule. This helps to avoid
miscommunication about important events.
Be respectful of other family members. Have a place
for family members to leave notes about where they are
and what time they will be home. A white board or a desk
with a notepad can be helpful. Ask that everyone use the
same place to post a note.
