Family Time

15th May was International Family Day. We bring to you the different kinds of families and how the family enables the child development

Nuclear Families consist of two adults and at least one child
Single Parent Families have a single parent who is raising the child
Grandparent families involve the grandparents in raising the child/ children wherein the parents do not take this responsibility
Childless families involve a couple who do not have kids. Even this is a kind of family unit
Blended families are the result of having kids from previous marriage and having step kids from new marriage. This family is the result of blending different family members together
Extended families or popularly known as joint families consist of grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts and other relatives all living together.

Children get help in formation of attitudes and personality with the help of family members
Families help give a sense of security and belongingness to the child
Family stories give the children a sense of self worth
Love, compassion and sharing are the binding effects of living in a family
Understanding relationships and their context with the world can be understood through the family
Social interaction and the context of self gets strengthened with the family
