For the grown-up

Families Come in Lots of Shapes · 2 minutes to read

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. glad

2. to keep everyone safe

3. Sharing a toy → Kind; Taking a toy without asking → Unkind

B

1. care

C

1. two parents

2. one parent

3. grandparent

4. foster carers

D

1. Look for: Families can have one parent, grandparents, or children who are adopted or fostered, so the claim is wrong. If your child says Kit is right, ask who looks after Ella in the story. Then name a grandparent or auntie who loves a child.

E

1. Look for: A made-up family with at least one grown-up, and a way they show love or care.

Words to use

Say“Tell me one family you know from a book or a film, and what they do to show love.”
Instead of“Only one kind of family is a real family.”

After the sheet

Use two cups and some toys to make two families from a favourite story. Talk about who looks after the children in each.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
