Do you have any members in your family who do not live with you? Who are they and where do they live? How often do you meet them?
Many families have relatives who do not live with them but are still part of the family.
These include uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, or married siblings who live in other cities or villages.
Families meet them during festivals, weddings, holidays, or special occasions.
Some relatives live nearby and visit frequently, while others live far away and are met once or twice a year.
Explanation
The chapter mentions on page 15 that 'Our family also includes relatives who may not live with us. They are related to us through our parents (mother or father).' The text also describes how relatives, friends and neighbours visit Bela's garden to sit, talk, share jokes and laugh together. This helps children understand extended family relationships.
