[QUOTE="DDD, post: 22313, member: 35"] Although most families live together and have ongoing rituals, I think for your family you may have to identify a smaller number of activities as family rituals. Some examples might be verbally identifying things that are already shared and labeling them as "ours" or "yours" WE always enjoy sharing hot chocolate in the winter, don't we? Should we ask Daddy to fix the hotdogs our family loves on the grill tonight? Isn't the time walking our dog wonderful? Everyone in OUR family sure loves Bobo. I think your family cookie get together was really neat, by the way, & combined family memories are super. In the long run, however, I think our special needs children need simple reinforced themes to trigger attachments. Nothing extraordinary. Just things that are true of THEIR family. DDD PS: My children don't even like corned beef and cabbage but they smile as they say "I guess our family is going to eat that Irish dinner AGAIN. Do we HAVE TO listen to those corny CD's? We'll get them out of the cabinet!" LOL! [/QUOTE]
