Creating Roots Through Family Traditions (Entitlement Trap by Linda Eyre and Richard Eyre)

<p>The holiday season can feel overwhelming because we feel the need to do everything to make them exciting and special. However, the beauty of having our own families is that we can intentionally choose the holiday activities that serve us and let go of the ones that don’t.

We talk about how sometimes all it takes is to recognize the traditions we already have and capitalize on naming them and making them reoccurring and special.</p> <p>From Halloween fun, ways to be grateful in November and loads of Christmas and winter traditions we hope that this episode inspires you to create new memories with your family and recognize your current traditions to turn them into magical ones that repeat every year!</p> <p><strong>Books we mentioned:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3j4acEl">Hold on to Your Kids</a> // Gabor Mate</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2FCOJ7D">The Entitlement Trap</a> // Linda and Richard Eyre</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/2FGvOsK">Food Nanny Rescues Dinner</a> //&nbsp; Liz Edmunds</p> <p><strong>The recipes we talked about are on our our website under Episode 96: </strong><a href="https://www.findthemagic.co/episodes/creating-roots-through-family-traditions"><strong>www.findthemagic.co</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000490361958https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Ffind-the-magic%2Fid1448424341%3Fi%3D1000490361958">Systems and Values for Easier Days and Stronger Family Connections</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/felicaallen?listId=2O85YJTT8WHT7&amp;ref=cm_sw_em_r_inf_list_
