Pedagogy Tips for This Topic
Inquiry-Based Learning: Do not just define a "Joint Family." Ask students, "Who lives in your house?" and "Who cooks the food?" to build concepts from their experience.
Sensitivity: Be sensitive to students from single-parent households or non-traditional families. Avoid defining a "happy family" strictly as Mother+Father+Kids.
Integration: Use the sub-themes (Plants/Animals) to teach empathy. For example, "Are pets part of our family?"
