**Podcast Episode #18: Parent Panel — Family Traditions and Togetherness** Dec 16, 2018
Show notes

Research shows that traditions are important in building strong family relationships between generations. Being a part of the special things our family does helps us to have that sense of belonging. Traditions create positive memories for children; they crave the warmth and promise that comes with traditions. They anchor family members to each other and provide a sense of belonging.

Aside from holiday traditions, families should have daily connection traditions with their children. Daily connection traditions are those small activities you do every day that re-enforce family identity and values.
