Some traditions can be traced back through many generations. But new traditions can start any time. Explore your family’s traditions or start a new healthy tradition. To get started, celebrate a recurring event or holiday with a healthy activity your family enjoys. Repeat the activity every time the occasion comes around, and you’ve got a new healthy family tradition!
