Draft a household charter. Family members and ages: [FAMILY]. Areas that cause friction (screens, bedtimes, noise, borrowing, tidying): [FRICTION_AREAS]. Values we want to emphasise: [VALUES].

Run a family meeting plan of 30 minutes: how to open, how to gather ideas from everyone, how to turn them into five to seven positively worded rules, and how to agree consequences that are logical and fair. Draft the charter text with rules, reasons, and what happens when a rule is broken, plus a signature section. Write child-friendly versions for younger children. Add a review date after one month and a process for changing a rule. Avoid punishments that humiliate and keep the tone respectful.

Add a list of examples of positively worded rules to inspire us, such as 'We knock before entering a bedroom', and a short guide to explaining the reason for each rule in a sentence. Provide a way to handle disagreements about the rules, and a checklist to review whether the rules are being followed after one month.
