Family Meetings – How Kids Discuss Gossips

When kids gossip they don’t realize the trouble they cause themselves and others. The family meeting can help. Look inside and find out how.

In my book, Character Building on BackTalk Street, Gabby the Gossip phones Betty the Bragger, “Hi Betty, guess what I saw at Tilly’s house last night? I saw her dad’s teeth in a glass of water on the kitchen sink.” Page 51

Why not read a story about gossips to teach your family values? Here are some questions to use in your family meeting?

If you gossip, will kids stop sharing their secrets with you? Why?

What advice would you give to gossips?

Don’t be surprised if your kids love discussing this problem. They’ll get to share their thoughts, real examples, and feelings about gossiping. If they already gossip, they’ll think twice before they gossip again. You’ll be raising their family values and building their character too.
