The house meeting is a time that everyone sets aside to listen to the concerns of everyone in the house. The house meeting should be productive. This can be done by letting only one house member talk at a time, let all people bring up their concerns and what their side of the story is before moving on to a resolution. Everyone should have the same amount of time to have their voice heard. One house member be taking notes to be sure and address all the concerns that any house members may have.

Try and address the concerns of each house member as much as possible. Ask open ended should questions to get a discussion going. All house members should be respectful at this discussion and there should not be any name calling or not listening, everyone should have an open mind. The point of the discussion is to help all members of the house to understand where the others are coming from. To hear the other person's point of view may be enough to end the conflict. Let all house members know that it is ok to have a difference of opinion but it is not ok to make someone else feel bad about it.

House meetings are a really good way to let everyone have their say about whatever conflict is currently at hand. Everyone should feel that their concerns were heard and that steps were taken to resolve the conflict. Not all house members have to agree but all house members should be respectful of the others thoughts and ideas.
Being more tolerant of other house members is another way that you can keep peace in your home. Don't be so hard on your loved ones or even yourself. Tolerate someone else's moods, habits and ideas a little more than usual. Being more tolerant will help you to avoid bigger conflicts. If you find that you cannot tolerate a certain habit than you should address the problem in a reasonable way. Talk nicely and only address that one problem, if you feel like a fight is brewing it is best to step away to keep the peace.

To keep the peace in your home you should also be happy at other house members' accomplishments no matter how big or little. Being proud of each other or helping through hard times creates bonds and more understanding. This will help keep the peace in your home because everyone wants the other house members to do well in life.
Not all house members will always get along. Resolving to have some conflicts will actually keep the peace in your home. Understanding how to resolve those conflicts in a nice way will also keep the peace in your home. Teach all members of the house tolerance and how to adjust expectations if needed, hold house meetings when appropriate and your house should remain very peaceful.
