"There are so few things that can be controlled in a child's life these days that parents who neglect the use of ritual have neglected one of the few available instruments for building emotional security and loyalty to family values. When parents ask me how they can help their children overcome their insecurities …. When they ask me how they can get their children to embrace the right kind of behavior patterns …. When parents ask how they can give their children good feelings about themselves, I say, 'build good rituals into your family’s life!’”
