Constructing Culture
What if you want to attempt to build your own family culture or modify an existing cultural schema?
Culture is best transmitted through traditions and media. For example, to develop a bespoke culture that reinforces our unique values and ideologies, we modified existing holidays and created a few of our own, focusing on rituals that appeal to kids (traditions often live or die based on how much kids like them—this is why Halloween thrives while Lent languishes). We also curated a selection of materials to either read to our kids or regularly watch together and discuss, each of which features its own lessons related to our family values and ideologies.
Culture is just another aspect of a well-rounded education. It is our job to provide a rich upbringing for our kids without getting too experimental and endangering their ability to thrive. (We might put together a book on this one day.)
