Extended family

The extended family means all the people that are related by blood through the father or mother. Members of the extended family, apart from the father, mother and children, are grandparents, uncle, aunt, cousin, nephew and niece.

The roles of the extended family include the following:

1. The grandparents when they are around, help in taking care of the children while the father and mother are at work.

2. The grandparents give advice to their grandchildren. They do this in the form of storytelling. For example, a grandfather may tell the grand children stories in order to teach them a lesson on honesty, sense of value or appreciation.

3. The aunts when they are around also help the mother to take care of the children and even to cook.

4. The uncles also help to take care of the entire extended family. They do this by teaching morals to their nephews and nieces.
