We will learn: How traditions can write our families’ stories.  How to give your family the gift of spontaneity.  How to overcome resistance to tradition from older children.  Plus a ton of ideas for year round family traditions. What are your favorite childhood memories? What traditions did your family have that you always looked forward to?   Making memories and traditions for your family can be a lot of hard work. So it’s easy to convince yourself they don’t really matter and just skip them, but those traditions might be the thing that sticks out the most when your children, or even when you think about your lives.   They’re something that everyone in the family can look forward to. They can be the points of stability in a chaotic world.   So how do we start to make traditions that our families will look forward to for a lifetime?    That’s what we’re talking about today.
