Communication Station | Practical Tips for Happy Parenting

I think every mother should have a communication station in their home. ?Even if your children are young and not yet in school, you should create a communication station so have a central place to update the family?s calendar and events.

Creating a communication station is quite simple in fact. ?I?m here to show you how!

Choose a central place in your home that all family members pass by every day.

In our former home I chose the wall when you first walk in the front door, it was also next to the kitchen. ?In the home we?re in now, our communication station is in the kitchen near the dining table. ?Find a place that works for your home and your family.

Remember LESS is MORE! ?Here?s what we use:

When putting your items together, there?s a few things you should think about.

  1. Who will be updating the communication station?
  2. Will children need to reach the folders, the white boards or the hooks?
  3. How wide or tall is your wall? ?This affects how you arrange your items.

This is the communication station in our former house. ?I later took down the clip board and put up another cork board. ?I realized I needed two cork boards: 1 for my son in Kinder. and 1 for my daughter in Preschool.

This was a place we put our keys, sunglasses, my homemaking binder and our mail in our former home.

This is the communication station in our current home. The Command hooks at the bottom are blue, I found them at Wal-Mart for $2.95.

Establishing a Communication Station in your home is actually quite simple: Find your spot, buy your materials, put it together. ?A central place for communication is important for happy parenting!
