Family traditions

My family consists of my father, mother, sister and me. We also have a cat Tisha and a dog Orpheus. There are several traditions in our family. We always celebrate the birthdays of all family members. In the morning, while the birthday boy is sleeping, we put a gift next to the pillow for him, so that when he wakes up, he sees a surprise. In the afternoon, mom and sister are preparing a surprise. And in the evening we all sit down at the table to celebrate, and blow out all the candles on the cake.

And in the new year, we put gifts under the Christmas tree. The whole family prepares a festive table. We decorate the apartment with garlands, rain, put up a Christmas tree and decorate it with toys, and our cat Timofey "helps" us in full force. After celebrating the New Year, we go outside for a walk with friends, ride a hill, and start firecrackers. And we play snowballs.

We also always celebrate the beginning and end of the school year.

These are some of the small traditions of our family that bring us closer together.

Our family traditions

Our family has a tradition of painting eggs for Easter. I love doing it myself. I paint with gouache, wrap it with coloring threads, and in Lately sell beautiful stickers.

We paint in different colours, it turns out very nice.

Dad makes an Easter cake with raisins and nuts.

Grandma goes to church and lights them up. I know that on Easter there is a procession. All night people pray.

Grandmother fasts before Easter. We are not there yet, but my mother and I were also in the church, we went for holy water. We also have a tradition New Year make salads: Olivier and with crabs, bake chicken in the oven, decorate the Christmas tree and make gifts for everyone. On theShrove Tuesday we bake pancakes and pies. Previously, a straw effigy was burned at the dacha.

Our family traditions

In general, the word "tradition" in the explanatory dictionary of the Russian language means what has passed from one generation to another, what is inherited from the previous generation: for example, ideas, views, tastes, ways of acting, customs, etc. Custom - an established order in behavior, in everyday life, i.e. meeting of the New Year. It is a tradition in our family, like ordinary people, to gather on holidays with all relatives at the table, to congratulate each other, if it is, for example, the New Year or another significant day. Before, when we lived in another city, we had a tradition of going to the gym to play football, and when we returned, we all cooked pancakes together. It was a Sunday tradition.

When we visit our grandmother for the holidays, she always traditionally greets us with delicious homemade pies. We also have a tradition of meeting up with our childhood friends.

In addition to the New Year and birthdays, there is another significant day - May 9, when our dad and his brother they go to Kholmogory, where my grandfather lives. This is also our family tradition.

I love it when all the family gets together!

Traditions and legends in the old days

In the old days, Russian families were in no hurry to separate. As a rule, several related branches united near one of the relatives or the oldest. Children, brothers, nephews of their master and even his distant relatives lived together. It is not surprising that sometimes hostility between relatives broke out in the house. But on the other hand, living together developed in the Russian man the spirit of community, uniting people who were not even related by blood. And all family celebrations were held in public, with a large crowd of people. As they said, "in the world."

Birth and baptism

Russian people were in a hurry to christen the baby. Most often, baptism took place on the eighth day after birth. But sometimes even in the fortieth. These numbers corresponded to the events from the infant life of Jesus Christ - the Circumcision and the Presentation. The name of the baby was most often given by the name of the saint, whose memory was celebrated on the day of baptism. Baptism was performed in churches or, on rare occasions, at home if the newborn was sick. But at the same time, baptism necessarily did not take place in the room where the child was born. The choice of godparents usually fell on relatives. At baptism, a copper, silver or gold cross was put on the baby, which remained on him all his life, as a symbol of belonging to the peasantry. The priest put a white handkerchief around the godfather's neck and tied it with both ends. At the end of the ceremony, the scarf was removed and remained in the church. After the rite of baptism, the baptismal table was laid on the same day. At the same time, besides the guests, the poor were fed.

Birthday was almost not considered a holiday, but the day of the angel, or name day, was celebrated annually. For example, matchmaking, wedding, housewarming was also considered a holiday, burial, etc. All these rituals and holidays were considered traditional and all had their own rules.

Traditions in my family

There is a little tradition in my family. Every year we go to the Krasnodar Territory for my grandmother's birthday. The closest relatives come to this day. We are having a fun day. In the morning we are all preparing for the holiday: we are preparing a wonderful dinner, and grandmother is preparing her wonderful Napoleon cake, it turns out to be very tasty. At lunchtime we go to the park and swim in the pond. It's very funny. Then, in the late afternoon, close friends come, and we have dinner, give gifts. Later, everyone dances and laughs, very cheerfully and joyfully, because everyone is together. What I like the most at a birthday party are the numerous flowers. Their very, verylot. Different roses, tulips, asters, carnations and they all smell wonderful. This is the tradition in our family.

Our family traditions

Each family has its own traditions. It does not depend on the number of its members. It is the traditions and rules that strengthen the cohesion of the family.

There are 5 people in our family. The peculiarity of our family are rules or customs. You can list them as many as you like, but there are a few main ones. First, family members should not be separated from each other without communication for a long time. Secondly, everyone should eat at the same time. But for good reason, someone can do it at another time. Thirdly, the cat is cleaned by the one who is younger than all those in this moment Houses.

The main tradition of our family, like many families in general, is the gathering of everyone at the festive table. On holidays we can invite close people, friends, relatives. It's usually fun when we invite grandparents. Also, when one of the family members has a birthday, everyone gathers in the evening and eats a birthday cake and drinks tea.

Our family traditions

Once we had the good fortune to visit the city of Vyborg. We were invited by friends to their dacha. We really liked the local nature. After that, we had a family tradition - to spend summer time near Vyborg. From that moment on, we had a new hobby: fishing in any weather, picking mushrooms and just walking in the forest.

After visiting the city of Vyborg, we had new tradition. Now we visit the sights every year. We also attend city festivals, historical places and just walk along very beautiful, small streets.

We loved this place so much that I hope our tradition will not only remain, but will become stronger.

Our family traditions

We traditionally celebrate the holidays of the New Year, March 8, Christmas and Easter. In our family, the rites of baptism are observed. Traditionally, birthdays of all family members are celebrated.

On the eve of Easter, my mother and I paint eggs, bake Easter cakes, and then go to St. Nicholas Church. We light everything up there.

We were baptized in St. Nicholas Church. We really like to go there with my mom. public holidays. This is a very beautiful cathedral.

We also really like to celebrate the New Year at home, together with grandparents. I love decorating the tree. Our Christmas tree is always natural, so that it smells of pine needles and forest. We have a lot of beautiful Christmas decorations. Among them there are very old ones who passed to us from great-grandmothers. While we are decorating the Christmas tree, we always remember something from the past holidays. We remember our loved ones.

Our family traditions

Our family has traditions to celebrate holidays. Of the many official and unofficial holidays, we have the main one - the New Year. For us, this is not just a holiday, not just a formality, but much more. This can be called a new piece of life, and December 31 is a small threshold into this piece.

On the last day of the outgoing year, we try to think only about the good. We leave all the bad feelings and moments in the outgoing year.

We are all seriously preparing to celebrate the New Year: we set the table, put on beautiful outfits. Champagne has already been poured, and we are waiting for these treasured twelve strokes, after which you can make a wish. We congratulate each other, give each other gifts. Friends call us on the phone, congratulations. We congratulate them. In this new year's eve we go with them to the street to launch fireworks. That's very beautiful!

On New Year's Eve, the air is especially fresh. From multi-colored fireworks, the snow glitters so that it blinds the eyes. Walking is very pleasant on New Year's Eve! After that, we return home, and with the whole family we watch the New Year's concert on TV. Probably the happiest day of the year! At the end of all the fun, we clear the table and go to bed. The next day I wake up refreshed. It's the first day of the New Year...

Glowing heart. Sparkly and sweet
Spring is back, ice floes have begun to move in the rivers.
Happiness? It is not in money, not in abundance.
No, not in beautiful things and cars.
Happiness - in the autumn cool dawn -
Sunray on gilded glass.
Happiness is when children smile
Me, coming to work in the morning.

Our family traditions.
Every family has its own traditions. Someone just has lunch together or goes for a walk on the weekends. Someone's traditions are rooted in the past, depend on nationality, faith, etc.
I would like to talk about two traditions of our family.
My grandmother, Ryseva Nina Ivanovna, is a very creative person, and among her many hobbies, she found time to write poetry. No family and friendly holidays are complete without Nina Ivanovna's rhyming congratulations, and the song she wrote became the official anthem of the Nagorny village. This talent of hers was inherited. All three grandma's sons are good at rhyming, and her granddaughter and my sister Lyana have repeatedly won poetry competitions and are members of the Steppe literary association.
Our second tradition is reading. From childhood, my parents instilled in me a love of books, read aloud, and until now I consult with them in choosing literature.
I think that traditions unite the family even more and create the atmosphere for which you want to return home. After all, when everything is good at home, this is happiness.

Our family, our traditions.

Every family has its own traditions. Singing, music from generation to generation go next to the two branches of our family.

Back in 1932, our great-grandfather Ishchenko Karp Filippovich ordered a balalaika from Moscow. Himself, not knowing the notes, learned to play it:

And when she played

Her sonorous sounds poured out,

The whole village ran to listen to Karp,

What do his heart and hands do.

Karp Filippovich taught the game to his wife, Marfa Lukyanovna. She sang Ukrainian songs well. Left a widow at the age of 32 with four children, despite the difficulties, she did not lose her love for music and passed it on to her children.

Of her three sons, the eldest, Alexander Karpovich, played the button accordion and for a long time was head of the cultural department. Many people still remember him. Thanks to him, a music school was opened in Bredy.

Ivan Karpovich led a brass band and played the trumpet. At that time, live music sounded at the dances, the village boys and girls danced with pleasure to the sounds of a brass band.

And my grandfather, Vladimir Karpovich, graduated from a music school and became a professional musician. He still plays various instruments: balalaika, button accordion, accordion, piano, harmonica, drum. He composed music and poetry. His songs were performed at regional amateur art shows.

We rode in the steppe in frost and blizzard

And lived in tents in the steppe in the snow,

But they firmly believed that the Bredinsk region,

Give the country a golden loaf.

Grandfather led the orchestra of folk instruments of the music school, which successfully performed at zonal and regional competitions in the city of Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk, Miass, Sverdlovsk. For more than 30 years he worked as the director of a children's art school. Now he is on a well-deserved rest.

Three children of Vladimir Karpovich graduated from music school. Irina and Tatyana continued the family dynasty and work as teachers at the children's art school. Son Alexander graduated from the wind department and, having connected his life with the sky, does not part with music. He plays in a brass band and learns the basics of the saxophone in his spare time. Irina's daughter, Ksenia, also graduated from a music school. Although her profession is not related to music, she enjoys playing the piano in her free time.

My mother, Tatyana Vladimirovna, has been working at a school for 16 years, teaching children how to play the piano.

Creative people work in our Children's School of Art, who try not only to give us knowledge, but also to organize fun holidays: New Year, First Graders, etc. And my mother is already acting as an artist. Whom she just wasn’t: Dr. Watson, Snegurochka, Pinocchio, Carlson ...

My dad didn't go to school music school but he has a good ear for music. He understands pop foreign ensembles. We love it when dad comes to our shows.

The musical traditions of the Piven family were continued by my father's sister Lyubov Vladimirovna. She graduated from the conservatory and works in the Kirov region at a music school as an accordion teacher. Her children also graduated from music school.

A few years ago, I graduated with honors from the School of the Arts in choreography and piano. My younger brother Zhenya also goes to a music school.

Our whole extended family often gathers for family holidays. Different generations of the Piven and Ishchenko families are united by music. We often sing, this is our family tradition. Members of our family are active participants in the regional amateur performances. Aunt and mother sing in the ensemble of teachers "Retro", participate in all concerts held by our House of Culture. I am proud that our family has made and continues to make a great contribution to the development of the region.

My family traditions

Tradition is a feature of every family. This is what brings the family together.” Our family, and we have a big one: mom, dad, me, Olya and Vika, have their own family traditions.

A person is born into the world, grows, thinks: where am I from? Where are my roots from? From time immemorial, one of the traditions in families has been the tradition of learning about their ancestors, compiling their family tree - a family tree. This tradition is returning to families.

Family traditions include the tradition of celebrating family holidays. Our family also has traditions that have passed to us from our grandparents. Our family is very hospitable, we are always happy to welcome guests. One of the common traditions was a feast. Guests gathered at the common table, sang, the hosts rested them with various dishes. Culinary traditions were not in last place.

Celebrating holidays with family is another good tradition of ours. Birthdays, Defender of the Fatherland Day, March 8, May 9... We congratulate and give gifts for all holidays. A special holiday is the New Year, and traditionally we all decorate the Christmas tree together for the New Year, make gifts, launch fireworks, congratulate moms and dads on their holidays; honor those who died in the war on Victory Day. Traditions can unite not only family members, but the whole country.

My family and I love outdoor activities and often spend time in nature.

Our parents taught us to respect our elders since childhood: to wish health, to give way, to help if they ask.

Parents give us all their love, take care of us, are interested in our affairs, grades at school. You can talk to them on different topics. Sometimes they tell stories from their lives, about us when we were very young. All this is very interesting. They are not only mom and dad, but also our friends.

Our family is very friendly, we always do everything together. I am proud of my family, because we support each other in any situation and keep our traditions very carefully.

Family traditions

Of all the holidays in the year, I like two the most - Birthday and New Year, or rather, the Christmas holidays.

I love birthdays because they are gifts, and I love New Year because not only you celebrate it, but all your relatives and friends.

Our family has a long-standing good tradition - it is to gather at Grandma's for Christmas and spend almost all day in her cozy house.

After all, it is the grandmother who is the stronghold, the connecting thread that unites us all. Probably, thanks to this holiday, in us, in our grandchildren, such a feeling is brought up as love and pride in family ties.

Of course, grandma prepares the most for this holiday. She always tries to please everyone, at her table everyone will find what he likes. I am always so sorry that my grandmother is running around, busying herself, getting tired, but when you look at her sparkling eyes at this moment, everything will become clear, because she is trying for us, and there is no higher praise for her than from us, grandchildren, oh the most delicious and satisfying food in the world. Parents love this holiday also because they are in their own home, in the haven of their childhood and youth, and plunge into memories. It is always interesting to listen to them, and especially from the lips of grandfather, who is always strict, but fair and selflessly loving us.

Every year this tradition becomes more and more valuable for us, because it is so wonderful to have such grandparents. I want them to stay with us as long as possible. I love them very much!

Adushkina Vlada, grade 9a

My family traditions.

Every year at the beginning of summer, my family goes to the forest for a vacation. This tradition has been in our family for several years. Before leaving, in the evening we prepare bags with groceries, prepare a tent. We go to bed early to get up early in the morning.

Early sunrise in summer. I like the morning freshness and coolness. We look forward to when we go. My sister Yulia and I love such trips. The two of us are always very interesting. When we arrive in the forest, the first thing we do is pitch a tent and set the table. We rest all day: we walk through the forest, go to the river, and just have a good time.

Days like this go by unnoticed. But we will remember him for a long time. It's great when there is such a tradition - to spend the day with the family.

Volynsky Dmitry, 9th grade student.

Our family traditions.

Every family has its own little family traditions and customs. And what about without them. They seem like an inconspicuous detail, but you can’t do without them. You get used to them and then you can't live without them. And our family is no exception. We love our traditions.
Our most pleasant tradition is the celebration of the New Year. First, we prepare for it: we clean the house, prepare gifts, treats. Moreover, we always celebrate the New Year in the house of grandparents. After all this, at eleven o'clock in the evening, we sit down at the table. And exactly

this merry night Santa Claus gives us gifts. Yes, yes, the real Santa Claus. My aunt Tanya plays his role. And then, after the chiming clock, those who are not yet tired go to the general festivities and have fun there until the morning. But then, on the morning of the first of January, you understand how good it is to have fun with the whole family

Our other already established tradition is family dinners. None of us like it when someone eats alone. At home we always have breakfast, lunch and dinner together. And for the holidays and all the rest important events our large family, or rather three families gather in the parental home. It turns out a small holiday with a table, most importantly with good communication.

Our family also loves to go outdoors in the summer. Every summer, at least once, we do it. You can go for different reasons: whether for mushrooms, to the river, or maybe just like that, to relax.

But all these traditions are united by one thing - we do everything together, help each other everywhere, where with advice, where with deed. Our whole big family is one whole, and traditions help us to realize this and support each other..

Skorik Alexey, 9th grade student

Svetlana Morozova

I bring to your attention creative work of my student.

In our life we ​​communicate with different people, but the people closest to us are our relatives, Our family. The family is the closest environment of a person. In any family, good relations, mutual assistance, family traditions.

Word « tradition» came to us from the Latin language and means"broadcast". Traditions- this is something in our life that is transmitted from one generation to another, from older to younger. Thanks to traditions the wisdom of the elders is passed on to the young.

Many families have special traditions. One of them - family reading. From childhood, my mother instilled a love for reading, for books for me and my older brother, in the evenings she always read aloud to us, and sometimes, switching roles, we read aloud. How many interesting and instructive in each book!

In any family, adults help children, and children help adults. Caring for children, the elderly, the sick is the duty of every person. On weekends, my parents and I visit grandparents, we buy food and medicine for them, help clean up the house and garden.

wonderful tradition became for our family and our numerous relatives joint Work in a large garden in the village. are going all: from small to large. Planting, weeding and harvesting potatoes for us celebration: first we work together, then we also cook dinner together and arrange family gatherings, with songs, jokes, intimate conversations.

I always help my mother with the housework, help take care of the flowers, feed the fish and the dog, do the cleaning, wash and iron the clothes, I like to help cook and decorate salads and pies.

Another beautiful tradition - family dinners. They are usually held on Sundays. All family members gather at a large table. Can be discussed without haste family matters, events of the week, plans for the future. In the evenings, we always have dinner together, and on weekends, when my brother comes, we always arrange family dinners. How much spiritual warmth in this communication of the closest and dearest people! And then you wait for the next weekend to relive this joy - to be next to each other, to be together!

Well, how not to say our favorite family holidays. This is New Year, Christmas, Easter, Trinity, birthdays. We prepare surprises, gifts, postcards for each other in advance, lay a festive table, invite relatives and friends to visit.

One more kind tradition - family trips . How nice it is to go to the forest, to the river or to the pond with the whole family! In winter we love to ski, play snowballs, make snowmen. In the warm season, when the weather is good and there is free time, we go to rest on nature: walk, breathe fresh air, pick mushrooms and berries, fry kebabs, bake fish and potatoes, swim in the pond, play ball. Children help their parents and learn from them the rules of the march. life: how to pitch a tent, build a fire and cook food. And, of course, they learn to understand nature, to protect the beautiful world around them.

I am sure that family traditions- great value, our spiritual wealth. They need to be protected!

There are many traditions in my family and some of them even seem strange to me. I believe that each family should have its own traditions, since they are the ones that unite native people. Traditions allow us to hear the voice of our ancestors, to feel them next to us. For example, in my family, every year on Easter, my grandmother wakes everyone up early in the morning and cuts off a piece of cake for everyone and gives them a testicle, after which we can then go back to sleep and watch our dream. I still don’t know why it is necessary to get up so early on this day, and my grandmother says that it was like that in her childhood and now she repeats this whole ritual after her mother.

Another tradition that I prefer is to meet close relatives every year on the first of September and sit in a cafe. I understand that everyone walks on this day, but it is we who invite relatives. This was exactly the day when we can meet and talk at least once a year. Also, my grandmother has a stereotype that the New Year should be celebrated in new clothes in order to have a happy year, so we always put on new dresses. There is also one funny tradition, which, in theory, should not have become one: as soon as the whole family gathers and goes there, then mom forgets to remind dad to take his gear with him. As a result, it turns out that we just leave to relax somewhere in a beautiful place, without catching fish.

All these traditions are funny and incomprehensible in their own way, but these are the traditions of my family and I like them. You already know the exact day when everything will happen and you are waiting for it, it becomes funny to you that your parents are sometimes sloppy, although they themselves teach you not to be like that. I love my family very much and respect their traditions. I really want, in the future, to adopt some traditions from my family and move them to my new family that has already been created.

Composition on the topic Traditions of my family

My family is very friendly, so we have long established excellent family traditions, which we all love and support very much. Common traditions are interesting and exciting activities or features that are maintained from year to year. Each family has their own.

We have developed a very good and interesting tradition in the peculiarities of celebrating the New Year. For a whole month, my parents and I draw cards with the dates of the last month of the outgoing year: starting from the first of December and ending with the thirty-first of December. We hang these cards on a long rope in the living room, having previously decorated each of them with original drawings. We draw various winter scenes: snowflakes, Christmas tree. snowmen, Christmas decorations, frosty windows and so on. When all the bright cards with dates are in the place of honor, the fun begins.

Each card is a specific task that must be completed exactly on the day the number of which is indicated on it. For example, on the first of December, the whole family draws pictures on a winter theme, on the second of December we make home-made Christmas decorations, on the third of December we play new year games. In addition, there are also interesting tasks: cook a birthday cake with mom and grandma, decorate your room for the holiday, cut out snowflakes and stick them on the windows. There are also tasks that need to be performed on the street: build a snowman, take a walk along winter forest skiing, go to the skating rink with the whole family, make a snow fort and play snowballs. And so we have scheduled every day of the outgoing month.

Such interesting tradition My family and I love it and repeat it every year. And the expectation of the New Year becomes a fabulous, unusual and wonderful holiday for us. Such warm and kind traditions will surely unite any family, bring kindness and friendship into the relationship. Mutual understanding, and adults will be briefly returned to childhood.

Option 3

Each family has a number of different traditions that are repeated from year to year, and then carried over to other generations. Traditions are different: associated with some event, with some thing or action. Each family is special and unique.

Our family has a wonderful tradition that repeats itself year after year. We love summer, the whole family go to different places to relax and travel. Before the holidays, mom and dad ask us children what next city or country we would like to visit. We all discuss it together, choose, consult, share opinions. Then, having chosen a city, we begin to study it carefully - we read information about it on the Internet, buy guidebooks, look educational videos together.

It brings us closer together, gives us the opportunity to learn more new things. And the most interesting thing is to come up with and plan together a plan of excursions, and what we would especially like to visit in a new place. Mom takes a special notebook and writes down our every day: how it will go, where we will go, and what we will visit.

The most interesting begins at the moment when the day of departure of our next trip is approaching. We collect our things, camera, camera, documents, tickets and everything you need. We travel different ways: both by car, and by train, and by plane. And sometimes we buy a ticket for a ready-made bus tour and travel with a team and a guide. Thus, we visited many cities of the Golden Ring, Kazan, Karelia and many other interesting places. We really like listening to the guide, walking around new places, listening to the guide's stories about the sights and history of a particular city.

We really like the cities that are located near the Volga River. In such cities, we always ride on motor ships or boats. From the side of the river, any city seems magical and fabulous. We saw many interesting places where famous films and series were filmed. After such trips, we usually have a lot of different photos and videos. Our family gives us a lot of impressions and positive emotions.

We will definitely continue this tradition in our families when we grow up. After all, nothing brings together and unites a family like good, interesting and good traditions.

Traditions of our family 5th, 4th, 3rd grade. 2.7 class.

The hero of Bunin's story is an elderly American from San Francisco. All his life he worked hard to make a fortune. Finally, it's time to enjoy life. The hero goes to rest in Europe with his wife and daughter.

Family traditions and customs are an essential attribute of family happiness and prosperity. Once upon a time, traditions were an obligatory component of a close-knit family, reflecting the moral position of all its members. Many traditions are passed down from generation to generation, being fully accepted by the young family of modern society. Introducing children from early childhood to family traditions instills in them the importance of the family and family relationships.

Each of us strives to create comfort, an atmosphere of hospitality, originality in our family, so that, being away from home, each of the family members understands that they are waiting for him at home, they will definitely listen and understand, provide support and help in difficult times. Every family must have traditions that children will later transfer to adulthood and their families. A lullaby before bed... a bedtime story... the legendary "family dinners on the weekend" - all this is of great importance for the formation of a real family. In addition, this is especially important for the child, for whom it helps to feel like a significant part of the Surname, for developing a sense of security and confidence, as well as warmth, values, this is invariable. It is important that all this creates a cozy friendly atmosphere, stability and mutual support and mutual assistance in the family.

Often we are not immediately able to identify the customs that are accepted in our family, since we adopted many from childhood. For us, they are so natural that we do not even think about them. Traditions and customs in the family make up the spiritual aura of the house, including the way of life, the daily routine, the relationships of family members, and various daily rituals. The house, "getting used" to its residents, captures their energy, relationships and the rhythm of life, and, as it were, adapts to it. Not infrequently, the observance of traditions helps us to live. No matter how strange customs may be at times, it is important that they are not far-fetched. They should come into your life naturally.

In many families, it has become a habit to gather at a common table in the evenings and over tea to discuss the events of the past day, to make plans for the future. Parents talk about how they spent the day and share their impressions, show attention to each other's problems. The same is allowed for the child (children). A wonderful and useful tradition is daily reading in the evenings, joint discussion of what has been heard, expressing one's opinion and listening to the opinions of other family members. Now the custom of joint trips to the sea or family vacations during the holidays is popular.

It is very difficult to develop a family tradition when the children have become adults and they have already formed an attitude towards the family. It is a completely different matter when parents show the child the world in all its beauty, surround him with love and form a stable life position throughout his life. Toddlers perceive the world the way their parents do. It depends on them what attitude the child will have towards himself, others and life in general. For him, life may seem like an endless holiday or an interesting and exciting journey, or it can be presented as a frightening outing into the wilderness or as a thankless hard work that awaits him immediately after graduation.

If in most cases family traditions and rituals bring only joy and pleasure, and not restrictions, this helps to strengthen in children a sense of integrity and family unity, a sense of the uniqueness of the house and their own confidence in the future. Inner warmth and optimism are formed in us from childhood, therefore, the more this charge, the better. The happier and more joyful the child's childhood, the happier he will be in his later adult life.

You can start with the simplest - read before bed. Even if the child is still very small and does not understand what you are saying to him, your voice alone will be of incredible benefit to the baby. At the same time, care should be taken in the choice of fairy tales. Books should teach the child, educate and develop certain qualities in him. You can try to compose instructive tales by yourself, focusing on the educational element that you consider necessary. Only they should not be too long, otherwise the child may overwork. A twenty-minute story will be enough. For example, a fairy tale about how one boy (girl) did not want (a) to wash, as a result of which all his friends left him (her). But then the fairy brought him (her) fragrant strawberry-flavored soap, and a miracle happened, he (a) became (a) clean (oh) and his friends returned again. There may be many versions. And if you write all these fairy tales of your own composition in a separate notebook and give them to your child on an anniversary date (for example, 18 years). This will be a real family gift that I think your child will keep and pass on to their children, adding something of their own.

Family traditions and rituals allow the child to form a sense of stability of a family way of life. For example, regardless of anything, what we have instituted will take place. In addition, daily rituals create unique childhood memories that your little one will share with their children someday. Family traditions enable the child to feel a sense of pride in his family and in himself.

Each of us can create our own traditions in families that will be passed on from children to grandchildren, etc.. Only in this case it is necessary to take into account that this or that event is bright and memorable for the child, and most importantly positive, that the recurring event is observed without fail, regardless of anything, and most importantly, that there is something in this traditional event that would affect the feelings and perceptions of the child.

It should be noted that not all families have family traditions and holidays. And it's not about lack of time. It’s just that these people have lost touch with each other, they don’t know what to talk about with each other, it’s often a burden for them to see their own faces. All this speaks of a functional disruption of life at home. This house, like the family, has fragile and fragile connecting threads.

What are family customs?
friendly and happy family can come up with a “special” greeting word for himself that will be understood only by family members. It is interesting if, when greeting each other, one person pronounces the first half of the word, and his interlocutor finishes it. The same applies to goodbye. You can come up with funny wishes for each other for the whole day.

The kitchen is fraught with a huge scope for imagination regarding the creation of a family tradition. Or, for example, the culinary skills of one of the family members. It's great when on weekends the whole family gathers in the house for a family lunch or dinner. It is important that this event does not come down to a dull eating of delicacies, but is remembered in the form celebratory event, accompanied by laughter and smiles of family members, fun, the sound of a glass and the aroma of delicious homemade dishes.

And yet, it will be fun and interesting if the baby also participates in the preparation of some traditional culinary delight, which will also take pride of place on festive table. Or, for example, you can cook something new with your child every Sunday from traditional dishes and cuisine different countries It's also kind of a tradition. The baby will not only be interested in learning how to cook something new, but he will also be able to visually see and try it. So the child can still learn a lot about different nations and their traditions, master their behavior at the table (eat with chopsticks, drink from a bowl, etc.).

An annual trip to nature on the first weekend of summer can also act as a family tradition.

As paradoxical as it sounds, the birthday celebration is considered the best family tradition. Many of us longingly remember that in childhood it was not customary for us to celebrate birthdays. Therefore, you can celebrate your baby's birthday as the best family holiday, to which he will invite his best friends. This will allow the child to feel like a significant member of the family, teach him to receive guests, and, importantly, form a tradition for him to celebrate his birthday without fail.

Adults on a child’s birthday can come up with many different, but special rituals only for him. For example, to mark the child's growth on a special ruler, trace the child's arm or leg, or create a photo gallery, in a word, everything that will help the child remember his childhood and the happy moments associated with it.

Also, the child can be involved in the preparation of a family family tree or collecting things. It is very important that it brings joy to all family members.

It doesn’t matter if you want to preserve the traditions of your husband’s family or your own, or create something of your own, the main thing to remember is that childhood shapes the child’s personality. It is very important that the child had this childhood. Observe the measure in everything, because too strict rules, which do not leave freedom to the child, contribute to the overstrain of his psyche. The lack of stability in the family structure and predictable rituals that would soothe the baby with their compulsion instill in the baby a feeling of insecurity and precariousness. It is important not to forget that any rules are appropriate if they do not make life harder.

Family trips to the theater or outdoor trips, joint viewing of a new children's movie, trips to grandma for every birthday and the obligatory making of gifts for her with her own hands - all this is an indispensable component of the family, a guarantee of excellent mental well-being, maintaining a favorable environment in the family. May your home always be cozy and warm!
