Benefits of  Family councils
Click to set custom HTML
 
The results to family organization are self-evident.  They give family members insight into the operation of the family unit and valuable training in the closely supervised leadership laboratory setting for personal physical and spiritual self-reliance and social development. It prepares family members to manage their own life and future family in almost any situation. 

The Family Council is  the best  laboratory for family member development.
Some benefits and training of Family Council:
  • Value of mission, visions and goals
  • Organization and government
  • How to use agendas and conduct meetings
  • How to lead out in a group.
  • How to manage projects/assignments
  • How small group dynamics work
  • How to use committee principles
  • Other management principles
  • Value of rules and consequences
With family mission, vision and goals in mind, family members learn how to conduct effective and efficient meetings using agendas, minutes and follow up. Family members learn to work in small groups to share ideas and work on projects like what to plant in the garden or distribution of household tasks. Working in these small groups, family members learn about group dynamics and working together for a common goal. As family members are given assignments to first manage and eventually lead out in Family Council functions they learn about organizing for a specific purpose and leading the group in that activity. They learn that a leader must be a person of vision that shares the feelings and direction with the group. They also learn that managers manage things and leaders manage people. Family members learn that in rules and consequences there is real freedom and peace.
As the family develops interest in each other’s personal growth, family members will participate in projects and meetings to help each other grow - the goal being independent and self-reliant individuals.
Family council also teaches civil order and the governing principles and concepts that are necessary for healthy groups and societies. Thus the family members will be worthwhile citizens of the nation and world.
