Do you live with your mother, father, and grandparents? The people we live with and love are our family.
Every family is special. Some families are big and some are small. But all families love and care for each other.
Let us learn about our family!
Here are the people in a family:
| Family Member | Who They Are |
|---|---|
| Mother | She takes care of us. She cooks food and loves us. |
| Father | He works and brings things we need. He protects us. |
| Grandfather (Dada/Nana) | Father's father or mother's father. He tells us stories. |
| Grandmother (Dadi/Nani) | Father's mother or mother's mother. She makes yummy food. |
| Brother | A boy in the family. He plays with us. |
| Sister | A girl in the family. She shares things with us. |
Nuclear Family: A small family with mother, father, and children only.
Example: Ravi lives with his mother, father, and one sister. This is a nuclear family.
Joint Family: A big family with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all living together.
Example: Meena lives with her mother, father, grandparents, uncle, aunt, and two cousins. This is a joint family.
Every family member helps in some way:
Mother cooks food and helps us study. Father earns money and fixes things. Grandparents tell stories and give advice. Brothers and sisters play with us and share toys. We help too — by keeping our room clean and being kind.
