parent, a step-parent, and the children of one or

both parents.

uncles, and cousins.

Roles

• Adult’s Roles Adults are responsible for providing

the family with the basic things a family needs,

such as food and housing.

helping to do the dishes or laundry.

friend may have responsibilities for those things

that you don’t have.
