It’s no secret that every family’s goal is to be happy. Mums are always working towards what they consider to be their family’s greater happiness and, while other mums are always giving them advice on the rights anda wrongs, it seems like every family has its secrets to happiness.
After asking mums: what’s your secret to a happy family? Mother, Baby & Child got its own set of answers. Can you keep a secret?
Create traditions: Having a family tradition creates memories that can be cherished forever. Traditions are emotional keepsakes that we keep for life and help kids develop a sense of identity or belonging.
When trying to think up ways of creating traditions, don’t get into too many details. While some, like Friday pizza nights, will require some sort of planning, others can just develop by habit. If your family has a habit of singing a certain song on road trips, this can be your family tradition. Is there a phrase that the family says before entering the house? Do you have any special gestures?
