Quarter 2 Lesson: The Healthy Family

Introduction

Your family is your first school. It is the place

where you learn values, respect, and love.

A healthy family does not mean a family

without problems. Instead, it is a family that

knows how to take care of one another,

respect each other, and solve problems together.

In this lesson, you will learn:

1. The characteristics of a healthy family
