Family Meeting Checklist

A family meeting is a great time to talk about emergencies with everyone in your house to make sure that you're all on the same page. It's important that everyone knows where to go and what to do in an emergency, and that children know who they can call for help and how they can find you in an emergency.

We're here to help! Check out our list of conversation starters to get the conversation started with the children in your household.

Some tips:

• Keep it simple. If your child is struggling to answer a question, tell them what you would do in that situation or give them suggestions.
• Make sure that children know their parents full names besides just "mom and dad"
• If they ask a question that you don't know the answer to, you can say "that's a great question! I'm not sure I know the answer to it, but we can look it up together" Showing them how to find an answer is a very valuable skill.
