Order in the Home - A 10 year Old's Perspective on the Family Huddle

Jordan Langdon

What happens when a 10-year-old girl shares her wisdom about family organization? Pure gold. In this refreshingly honest conversation, my daughter, Aniston, joins me to reveal how our weekly "family huddle" has transformed our home life over six years and 200+ meetings.

The weekly family huddle transforms family life by creating order, reducing anxiety, and unifying family members around shared priorities.

• Family huddles follow a simple structure
• The family mission statement prioritizes values in order
• Children experience reduced anxiety when they know what's happening in the upcoming week
• Family meetings don't need to be complex - start with just 20 minutes focused on calendar planning
• The weekly ritual creates unity

Please share this episode with people in your circle. If you're not doing a family huddle already, visit our website for a free handout that tells you how to start your own family huddle. We also have a more robust bundle called the Huddle Up bundle with videos and downloadables.
