Importance of family routines and rituals discussed

/

Last Friday afternoon, over 60 Laurier students attended the 6th annual Hunsberger Memorial Lecture held in Bricker Academic 101. Guest speaker Barbara Fiese delivered a developmental psychology lecture entitled โ€œFamily Routines and Rituals: Everyday Opportunities to Build Health and Wellbeing.โ€

Fiese discussed how basic family routines are linked to biological health, particularly in children.

โ€œHealth really is a family affair,โ€ she explained.

โ€œFamilies experience life as trying to balance all of lifeโ€™s competing demands. Weโ€™re not a one-size-fits-all kind of world.โ€
