Since our oldest has been in Boy Scouts we have discovered something called "the Scout Master Conference".  I have been pondering this idea for some time and have decided that the idea is something that might work in our home.  With four children I need to have some one on one time with each child each week and coming up with a "Mommy Conference" time is just the right prescription.  Over the next three days I will be having a time where I sit with each child and

*   Go through their school books to place them in their crates for daily use
*   Decide what chores they can do and develop their own personal chart for each day
*   Decide what chores will be shared and rotated
*   Decide what their responsibilities will be on the nights that I am in school to help Daddy out.
*   Calendar all their activities and extra curricular events
*   Make a booklist that each child will be responsible for the month of September and the remainder of August
*   Schedule daily music practices and scripture memory time
*   Decide what their Bible reading will be for each day.  (Emmy is still in John and Davy is reading a Toddler Bible aloud to me each morning.)
*   We will also discuss bedtimes and rising times as well as play and exercise times for the week. 

JoNathan will be first tomorrow
Emmy on Thursday
Davy on Friday

It will be an ongoing thing and we will try to do one every week and a big "Family Conference" time as often as we need or once a month.

What do ya think???  If it works for us then it will be my WFMW at some point with more details...  ;)
