How do you maintain tradition while embracing change in your family?

Family tradition is as real or unreal as the family. Some families are sticklers for some traditions. They refuse to change. But most often this is on subjects like food, religion, and especially where everyone will be on the big holidays. Sometimes is goes further to where you attend college and where you will settle down. I think everyone knows that everything changes. The question is when and what is the new thing? With the use of technology, small changes can be added on. You can try new menus instead of going to the same old spot, order something new online. They may like it and who knows if may make Thanksgiving dinner. Try attending an online church service and who knows? Remember, people will change when change changes.

Traditions are an intrinsic part of family life, they become part of our creed. Preserving them is important but it’s key to recognise that as families evolve they need to evolve too, as older members of the family pass away the younger members need to have a stake in the traditions, they have to feel like they own them also and deeply connected to keeping them going in some way

My family has experienced the loss of four key members in an 18 month period, our matriarchal grandmother, my uncle who held strong influence and a caring nature over all the family, my wife and then my father….. We’ve had to adapt to a very different family dynamic, I found myself in a position where I was trying to run the family Lettings business on top of my day job while also supporting my two children (18&20), my Mother (71) and my surviving grandmother (95). What I learned through this incredibly hard period was that the key to embracing change is to accept that nothing stands still, everything is always changing around us, we’re just riding the wave, Trying to fight change is Folly, so make the big decisions, look for the good!

I think embrace changes, even if not always so easy or at times destabilizing means and remains one of the great form of truly respect of the different choices among family members conducive to real acceptance of their selves and sometimes surpriseful discovers about one selves. It can implies personal growth too

There are always important parts of traditions, in our family it was things like who hands the presents out on Christmas morning or the fact that as a family we never miss a birthday gathering with cake and singing. But when change is forced upon us in some way or happens as a symptom of blending a family then traditions sometimes clash or are threatened, at this point it’s key to encourage the family to talk about the parts of their traditions that hold the most emotion for them, that make them feel connected to past happy memories, trying to keep those key pieces alive means that they will feel heard and included It’s also a good time to evaluate what isn’t liked and replace old with new, the focus should be on making memories together

What kind of question is this? What’s this have to do is business it’s a week question for a week people. Here’s a better quote. Many rich people in the world very few wealthy ones. There’s another one all wealth comes out of the ground.

Celebrating diversity is like coloring with a huge crayon box. Each color offers its own hue, vibrancy and signature to the picture. The same is with people. Each element whether it is deafness, culture, food, spices, music, ability, whatever is a different hue, tone, to the individual. Each individual with their diverse experiences, hues and tones adds to the melodious melody to the Universe. Coloring a coloring book with one color is not fun. So not embracing diversity can make one’s life less colorful.
