                                      Hello, I am Elina. I am a ten-
                                         year-old girl. John is my
                                        brother. We live with our

                                    parents. With whom do you live?




              A group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit
              is called a family.

              A  family  can  be  big  or  small.  A  family  where  father,  mother  and  their

              children live together is called a nuclear family or a small family.

              Joint family, also known as extended family, is a family where more than
              two  generations  live  together  under  one  roof.  It  is  a  family  where  father,
              mother  and  their  children  live  with  their  uncles,  aunts,  cousins  or
              grandparents.
