You might like to read our blog that discusses the importance of supporting inclusive family event days. The myriad of families depicted is the so called traditional heterosexual parents, same sex parents, single parents, married parents, unmarried parents, families with one, many, or no children, blended families, mixed race families, multi-generational and extended families, and adopted families – all done using animals as examples. In the end, all these families are valid, because they love one another.

A reconstructed or blended family, also known as a stepfamily, is a family where at least one parent has children that are not biologically related to the other parent. The gender roles chosen in the book are different. Each family has a variety of both boys and girls who represent the children. There is a clear indication of types of gender suggested in facial features. Most of the animals are not dressed which indicates that just because an animal is wearing pants does not mean it has to be a boy. A famous example of a blended or reconstructed family would be the family from Wes Anderson’s 2001 movie The Royal Tenenbaums. 4. Compound Family Getting to know about all types of families and what non-conventional families are is really important for your kids as they may be experiencing these situations or know someone who is. Children can really flourish with an awareness of diverse family structures and inclusivity. We at Twinkl believe no one should be made to feel less than and that there is not one 'normal' or ‘ ideal’ family set-up. It’s important that kids feel represented so this is all about championing every kind of family!

Same-sex families simply have two parents of the same gender. A same-sex family structure is similar to the nuclear family type. However, kids are raised by same-gender parents who are typically married or in a committed partnership, with children either adopted or biologically related to one parent.

Learning about different families is important for children as they may currently be experiencing one or more of these situations. It is important for children to know that each family is different and that there is not one 'normal' setup for a family to have. Children will learn about same-sex families, single-parent families, adoption, foster families and others. Although children may not experience each family setup personally, they may know someone who has this setup. This All Types of Family PowerPoint teaches children to understand and respect different family types, including blended families, multiracial families, extended families and single-parent families. Families without kids often consist of couples in committed relationships. Simply put, some couples either can’t have kids or choose not to have them—but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a family. In fact, families without children are rising in number as more and more couples today decide they don’t ever want to have kids.

When her mother can’t provide the answers that she’s looking for, she decides to go and find them for herself. She begins by questioning the stork that nests on the roof of her home. This leads her on a journey through the woods, where she receives help from every animal she meets. On her quest to trace her family roots, the girl discovers what truly matters when it comes to family. Families are about love - and she has a loving mother waiting for her at home. Although it is debatable whether or not strictly egalitarian families exist, they are defined as those families in which fathers and mothers share authority equally.
