I love this post. I am working with a family who has a difficult time getting their daughter to express things about her day, (she is very private, even at a young age). We are working on getting some family rituals in place so that they all do this together, (the focus is then not just on the daughter sharing information at the parent’s request, but a more “built in” , routine, and hopefully fun event). Combining w/ dessert is in my opinion, an excellent “add on” that I had not considered.

I did not grow up with many family traditions that occured in any sort of “routine” way, )maybe why I crave this so much now!) We did have a period where we ate family dinners together, and I have good memories of those times. In my own family I would like to create a “music night” and a games or movies night. Kids thrive on these “rituals” even though they may not always verbalize this. I would love to also, eventually, incorporate a family meeting. (w/ dessert!)
