Using FC to teach responsibility

Giving each family members jobs/tasks in the family helps develop responsible adults.  Begin with the end in mind.
We found that even small children love to have a job in the council.  We had them be in charge of assigning others to write to the grandparents or decide who was to give the prayer at the end of the meeting.  
We also found writing down a job description was useful to define expectations and training as job were rotated
We have included more on this subject in the book, Family Council - God's Pattern for Parenting. and on this website under the Operations tab.
