The family conference is a wonderfully simple, clear tool for fostering better relationships within the family and for reconnecting during crises. Lou Elvarsdóttir and Julia Dibbern demonstrate how to establish equality and conversations at eye level within the family. They provide concrete suggestions for preparation, timing, location, and the process of the family conference, as well as rituals for an open, tolerant atmosphere. The beautifully designed materials, such as a conference poster, a protocol template, and creative worksheets, inspire a desire for change. Children learn to confidently express their own opinions without reacting defiantly or remaining silent. Adults can share their ideas without being authoritarian or patronizing. It's a benefit for the entire family and also for working with children's and youth groups.
