Creating New Rituals in Your Home

Children will often want to maintain rituals that were important to them growing up in their former households. A conversation with your child about what holiday rituals he liked best is a good idea because you are sharing power with your child about how you both want to enjoy the holiday. Take into account the memories your child has around certain holidays that are positive. You may want to create your own rituals in your home with your child. Invite your child into the process and see what you create together. This way the new ritual becomes something that you both have an appreciation for. If you find that your past experiences did not have enough ritual, now is the opportunity to create something new and long-standing for your family. Some examples of rituals around holiday time may be:

Opening one present on Christmas Eve

A special meal that happens on the holiday

Engaging each other on what each of you is thankful for

Special books that you read only during the holiday season

Special annual outings

A visit to see relatives during the holiday
