A family can mean many different things to different individuals. A family is the most significant and influential part of a child growing up. A family can be big or a family can be small. A family can be a single parent family, gay parent family or even a foster family. Children depend on their families from a young age to provide for them as well as protect them. It's important to understand that family impacts the way in which a child grows up and impacts their social, emotional and physical being. Hope this helps!
