Good relationships

Welcome to Chapter Four. In Chapter Three, you learned about
activities which preserve and maintain culture in our communities.

In this chapter, you are going to learn about building good

relationships. Good relationships start by identifying people
you are living with. You will learn about relationships in your

family. Finally, you will learn how to build and maintain good

relationships with friends at home and at school.

Relationships in the family

Think

When you hear the word ‘family’, what comes to
your mind? Can you mention all the people you

live with at home?

A family is a group of people who are related to each other.
It is the basic unit of society. An example can be a mother,

a father, and their children. The people you live with at home

make your family. Some families have many members, whereas
others have few members.

Types of family

In Tanzania, there are two basic types of family. These are a
nuclear family and an extended family. Other types of families

are a single parent family, orphan family, childless family,

adoptive family, and grandparent family. The following pictures
show the types of families.
