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.
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.
