Cherishing Family Traditions

<p>The year 2020 draws to a close, and we need to cherish our family traditions like no time before. These traditions help families to form a unique identity that works to bond everyone together. People feel a sense of comfort and security knowing they will be able to practice that tradition because it has become part of who they are.</p> <p>Traditions are another nonverbal way to communicate to your family your love and respect for the group and specific activity. These family traditions create a sense of belonging, which many psychologists say, is just as important as food and water to a human being.</p> <p>We want to feel part of a group, safe, secure, and full of joy. Family traditions check all those boxes when there is a collective belief to keep honoring them every year.</p> <p>Dr. Jim Van Allan is a speaker & trainer for schools and companies across the nation.
