With families preparing their children for the new school year, Sturgeon Bay Psychologist Dr. Dennis White has advice on establishing routines that will help you deal with a busier schedule. Dr. White says the new school year, which will hopefully be more normal than the past two, still brings demands for all family members. He shares how his family established family meetings and responsibilities around the dinner table.
Dr. White notes that family meeting times and chores can change throughout the year. Encouraging participation with an agenda while establishing clear guidelines with limits and boundaries for your children can make for successful outcomes.
