We share 40+ years of experience and benefits of family parenting/management using council principles. This is a Why, What and How Family Council website with suggestions and tips as well as online and printed resources.

We share the purpose, definition and concept of Family Councils. How to start and operate Family Councils with a flexible agenda and rules to support traditional and non-traditional family groups is addressed. The website discusses how to use Family Councils in all phases of family life - young to old.
