My family includes Ginger (Mom), Josh (Dad), 3 Brothers (Jayden, Zach, Austin), and Makenzie (Sister). We also have a dog and her name is Glitzie and she is a chihuahua. My 2 older brothers, Austin and Zach, moved out and they're in college.

Intro

A family, to me, is a group of people who will love you unconditionally no matter how many mistakes you make and they will be with you during your hardest times.

A family to me...

The family types I'm in is a blended family and extended family. I think I'm in a blended family because my siblings are my half siblings since my parents had kids with other people before they got married and had me. I also have a extended family because I have grandparents, aunts, and uncles that don't necessarily live with me.

Family types

The family life cycle we are in is the launching stage. I think this because my oldest sibling moved out already and has made a life of his own.

Family Life Cycle

3 ways me and my family bond is by having weekly family movie nights, asking how eachother's days went, and lastly we don't eat together at the same tables but we eat at the same time and talk together.

3 ways my family is healthy is by saying I love you everyday, we go on big vacations every summer, and we have specific rules like no food in the bedrooms.(Family functions on NEXT slide)

3 ways my family bonds and is healthy...

Family Functions

The family functions we do are...

Love and affection and we do this by saying I love you everyday and showing our appreciations.

We show religous education by getting baptised  and going to church every time we are free! Another way we show religous education is by reading our bibles and praying daily.

We have educations because our parents taught us to read and write before we started kindergarden and they send us to school 5 days a week. They constantly worked with us throughout our youthful years.

We show adaption by moving away from our old home and adapting to the new people in our new neighorhood. We had to adapt to our new schools and their teaching techniques also.

We show protection by having a alarm system and security camera's outside. We set the alarm every time we are leaving the house and make sure all the doors are locked too.
