Family calendar
A shared overview of the week, visible to everyone — it removes most arguments about who knew what.
What it’s for
A large part of tension in families isn’t about values but about coordination. A shared calendar removes that tension without anything having to be resolved.
How it goes
- One single shared version — on the fridge or in the phone, not both.
- Colours by person, not by type of activity.
- Include the adults’ commitments too, not only the children’s.
- Five minutes on Sundays to look over the week. That is the essential part.
