Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Understanding and Appreciating Differences

Related Episode: Not Separated at Birth

Subjects/Skills: Sense of Self; Language Development

Materials Needed:
Family photos

Directions:
Look through family photos with your child. Ask her to point to and name different members of your family.

After your child identifies a family member, talk about the ways that you are alike and different from that person. For example, you might say, "Right, that's Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe is always joking. He's different from me, because I'm pretty serious. But I really love the jokes that Uncle Joe tells. They make me laugh. And we're both alike because we both really love to read."

Ask your child to tell what she loves about that particular family member, and how she is like, and different from, him.
