Now in the US (where else) more and more families are seeking help from Family Strategists. These are experts at organisation, a qualified independent mind designed to help you step back and prioritise, while also simplifying your family life.

One such expert,
Charlotte Avery, believes every family needs a structure to balance the individual role of everyone in the household. She is a mother of seven children from Washington D.C. and says it is

The family strategist will drill-down into your lifestyle and cover topics from money management, parenting tips, relationship advice, household organisation and even anger issues.
