Types of relationships

Who’s in my orbit?

Use the worksheet provided and photos of people in your child’s life to create a profile of your child’s relationships. Ask your child which relationship circle each person belongs in. You could do this as a craft project with your child. Put the completed worksheet on your child’s wall and refer to it during conversations with your child. Use it to remind them if they forget what type of touch they can use with a person they know. When your child meets new people, you can add that person’s photo to the worksheet too.

Teachable moments

Introduce people to your child with their name and relationship to you.
