BIRTH BOOKS
Not so much a tradition as a one-off custom, this one, but something I heartily recommend. It's taken me over three years to get round to completeing it, but I've finally put together all the pictures, scans and anecdotes that will tell our daughter about her origins, her parents and how she came into the world. These books are especially useful for any families that were formed in unconventional ways, from adoption or donation, to families dealing with bereavement or illness. They're a great way for children to learn about their world in the most gentle and supportive language you can find.
