Preparing to play an active role as citizens - Belonging to groups <strong>and</strong> communities<br />
Preparing to play an active<br />
Children gradually become aware of themselves as social beings who belong to different groups including their family,<br />
school <strong>and</strong> neighbourhood – each with their own rules <strong>for</strong> behaviour <strong>and</strong> areas of responsibility. Even the youngest child<br />
can be involved in helping with everyday routines like Roger (It’s Your Turn, Roger!) or the children in Helpers.<br />
While thought-provoking books like Way Home <strong>and</strong> Rose Blanche provide valuable opportunities to discuss more sensitive<br />
political issues <strong>and</strong> promote better underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> concern <strong>for</strong> our fellow human beings, other stories focus on<br />
another important social skill – the ability to respect differences – in terms of race (Frog <strong>and</strong> the Stranger), disability (Seal<br />
Surfer) or behaviour (Michael).<br />

teenage boy copes with looking<br />

routines <strong>and</strong> the roles th<strong>at</strong> different<br />
members of their family play.<br />
