The Big Idea: Family members are children’s first and most important social relationships, and parents are their first and most important teachers.

Together, watch different children introduce the loved ones in their family. Then consider ways you might celebrate your family’s special relationships:
- Share funny family stories from before kids were born.
- Together, prepare a family recipe you learned from a parent, grandparent, or older relative, and talk about your memories.
- Make table placecards for the next big family meal.
- Look at old family photos together and talk about who’s who and what was happening in the picture.
- Draw pictures or write notes to family members and hide them for them to find. Write e-mails or video chat with far-away family.
