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

Quick Start

1. Open the Family Circle or connection area.
2. Use the available invite or connection option.
3. Ask the other family to accept.
4. Review the connection before sharing posts.

Before connecting

• Make sure both families know one another.
• Agree on what kinds of posts are appropriate.
• Keep sensitive information private.

After connecting

• Use Circle sharing intentionally.
• Review connected families as relationships change.
• Use in-app Help if the connection does not work.

Family Example

A grandparent’s household connects with the child’s household to share family updates and encouragement.

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

Identify one trusted family connection and agree on what you would like to share.
