Mini Lesson

Your family is one of the most important groups in your life — these are the people who love and care for you every day!

Who is in a family?

  • A family can have a mom, a dad, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and more.
  • Example: Mom and Dad are the parents — the grown-ups who take care of a child.
  • Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some families are big; some are small.

Brothers, sisters, and siblings

  • A brother is a boy who shares the same parents as you.
  • A sister is a girl who shares the same parents as you.
  • Together, brothers and sisters are called siblings.

Grandparents

  • Your grandma (grandmother) is the mother of your mom or dad.
  • Your grandpa (grandfather) is the father of your mom or dad.

What do family members do?

  • Parents keep children safe, healthy, and loved.
  • Every family member has a role — a special job they do in the family.
