Other People In The Family And How They Are Related To Us 

Other people in our families can teach us a lot about ourselves and how we relate to the world. For example, our parents might show us how to be patient or how to persevere through tough times. Our siblings might show us how to have fun or how to be independent. And our grandparents might show us how to be wise or how to be kind. No matter who they are, the people in our families can help us learn more about ourselves and how we fit into the world around us..
