“Children's growing awareness of diverse family structures provides rich opportunities to help them celebrate family diversity and engage them in conversations about who is in their family, who lives in their house and more importantly, who takes care of them. Family is the single most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments of life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. They are also a child's first teachers and act as role models in how to act and how to experience the world around them.”
