Are you joining Halloween celebrations?
What traditions do you follow with your children?
Have you thought of this? On how the festivals you honor and the celebrations you join shape your child's beliefs and even her or his take on what a "celebration" means?
What does "party" mean to YOU? what about "gathering"; "ritual"; "honoring"; "festival"; "celebration"..?
Do you #createNewFamilyTraditions based on your own cultural background or home country? Do you join traditions from the places you visit when you travel?
Do you give a context to these events to your child?
Do you let them "choose" what speaks to them? Or do you just go thru the motions of getting a random Halloween costume; making a Christmas tree; light a Chinese lantern; burn incense to Ganesh...
Remember what you choose to honor will bring a LIGHT to your life and will brighten what you believe in... This is how real, experience based beliefs and rituals takes root, grow, and bloom... Remember... And happy celebrations.
