What is a Normal Family?

 As a teacher or support staff member you will work with many different families throughout your career. Our perception of family generally comes from our experiences with our own family. We may think of our own family as normal, and the ways of other families as unusual or strange. Is there actually a normal family?

Think back to your childhood and your memories of your family. Did you think of your family as normal when you were a child?

Did this perception change at all as you grew up, or did something happen to change your view of your family?

For those of you who are teaching, do you tend to assess or judge parenting behaviors and styles of the parents in your programs from the lens of your own experience?

Did your family have customs or traditions that were different from the other children you knew growing up? This could be languages used, holidays celebrated, religious practices, foods your family enjoyed, your economic situation, or other elements of culture.
