“My parents found tradition and ritual very important, because they were both brought up that way and found comfort in it. They thought it was important for children to be kept on a schedule.

I crave stability and a schedule and the security that comes along with it.” IfsThinkingWayChildrenImportantHomeAgeYoungFoundParentSecurityComfortMassAspectTraditionWho I AmHolidaySundayRitualStabilitySchedulesCraveYoung AgeHome For The Holidays Author:Chloe Sevigny
