Family connections
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can describe the roles people have in my family.
Key learning points
- We all have a different role in our family.
- The adults in families have different roles to the children.
- Family roles are important for keeping everyone safe and happy.
- It is not only parents/carers who can look after children.
Keywords
Family - the people we live with and may be related to
Role - the things we do to help other people
Common misconception
Only adults have a role in families.
Some roles only adults can do, some roles children can do by themselves, some roles adults and children can do together.
Teacher tip
Use words such as 'mum' and 'dad' thoughtfully. Many children do not have both and mother and father, although most do. Consider also using words such as 'parent' and 'carer' whenever you are generalising.
