The Importance of Routine and Ritual For Your Family

On Flusterclux, we love focusing on prevention. What are the big picture “moves” we can incorporate into our families now that lessen risk for struggles later on? In this episode, we talk about the role of ritual and tradition in families, with an important emphasis on the everyday routines that bolster connection. Family dinners? Reading together before bed? Weekend errands and worship services? It’s worth the effort!  Hear The Deerfields on Apple Music & on Spotify. WE'VE MADE PLAYLISTS OF OUR EPISODES TO HELP YOU FIND RESOURCES ON SPECIFIC TOPICS.
