The concept of tradition transcends time, class and age; you'd be hard pressed to find a demographic or civilization that didn't uphold rituals or customs.
Family rituals and traditions have a positive impact on family relationships, individual wellbeing and mental health, says Lowri Dowthwaite-Walsh, a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist.
Everyday rituals, such as mealtimes, allow family members to connect on a regular basis. They provide structure and lower stress by nurturing a sense of belonging.
The anticipation of joy and celebration lifts mood and allows connections to be celebrated through kindness, gift-giving, affection and gratitude, which enhance mental wellbeing.
