Description

This unit examines families and helps pupils understand that no family is perfect, all families face challenges and changes, and that love and care matter more than structure. Pupils develop realistic expectations of family life, fostering empathy, respect and resilience.

At Year 5, pupils are refining their understanding of family dynamics and may be aware of challenges in their own or friends' families. Building on previous learning, this unit addresses the myth of the perfect family. This is timely as pupils develop a realistic understanding that all families face difficulties and that love matters more than perfection. By exploring these concepts now, pupils develop an empathetic view of family life, understand the importance of seeking help, and learn to respect different family experiences.

  1. No two families are the same
  2. Family change and challenges
