Campfire can help family communication feel more visible, but sharing works best when the message and audience are clear.

Quick Start

1. Start a Campfire post.
2. Review the available audience or sharing option.
3. Choose family, connected families, or the wider community as appropriate.
4. Check the selection before posting.

Possible audiences

• Members of your family.
• Connected families in a Family Circle.
• The wider IAFT community when that sharing option is used.

Share with care

• Use the smallest useful audience.
• Keep private family details inside the family.
• Remember that a community post reaches beyond people you know personally.

Family Example

A reminder about tomorrow’s school bag belongs with the family. A general challenge celebration may be appropriate for connected families or the community.

Good to Know

• Start with the smallest version that solves the problem.
• Change one setting at a time so you can see what helped.
• Missed days are information, not proof that your family failed.
• Open Help in the IAFT app and send a message if something does not work as expected.

Best First Action

Before your next post, excuse, simplify, or delete and confirm exactly who should see it.
