Families come in many different configurations, all equally important. Families do not need to be solely comprised of one mother, one father, and 2.5 children -- families just need to be comprised of love and support.

I think what it says about families is that even though a family may not be traditional but the important thing is that they love each other!

Families come in many shapes and forms, families aren't just mother and father, its whoever loves and supports each other that are family.

I believe this story is telling me that even though some families are not traditional as in man and woman but we need to support them as parents of the children in our care and try not to put our value upon them.

Families can be composed of homoosexual parents and they can be as good parents as hetrosexual parents

The message given by this story is one of love and acceptance. Also, that not all families have to be mommy and daddy, sometimes we have two mommies or two daddies or only one of either. Families mean love and care not race, gender, or size.

in this video i found that the message given about families is that their are not just one type of family out there in the world. their are many ways a family can be called one. for a family to be officially called one does not matter if their are 2 dads or 2 moms. its the care for the child and how it is emotionally, physically, and mentally raised.

Family is defined by love. Family is a feeling that everyone knows. Sexual orientation, color, creed do not matter. Emotion is at the center of family.

Families are created by people who love each other and will love each other no matter what. It doesn't matter if they are created by blood or by commitment, love and acceptance are the most important things.

The message from this book is that the members of the families can be different, and no matter what they love and take care for each other.
Promiss Hernandez

The message is that families are families regardless of looks.

The message is that even though other families might be different from ours, they still show the same love, respect and care for each other.

(wiping tears away) The message that it is LOVE that unites a family is the first message, and I also appreciate the second message that seems to be that the wish to have one and the commitment to do whatever it takes to make and sustain one is all it should require to make a family.

Basically, the most important thing about family is love. All families are different but love above all is what brings a family together, not who is apart of it.

This story explains that all families are unique in their own ways, but that doesn't make them any less important.

That family can be made up of different kinds of people today and that the traditional family is not the only example of family that we have in our society today.

The love that binds the members together is what makes a family. If we lose the filters that tradition and culture lay on us we can see that the true essence of a family is love, acceptance and mutual support.

In, "And Tango Makes Three," the message given is that it is not what a family looks like that determines the success and strength of it; it is love, trust and compassion that bonds families!

Family is a very broad term now, there are so many different types of families, all that matters is that they are built on a foundation of love.

It shows that anyone can give love to a baby. Whether its a male and a female or just two males

In. " And Tango makes three". it shows that anyone can be good parents, it doesn't matter who they are, what religion they are in or color it all depends on what good, loving, kind parents they are and how the raise their little ones. we shouldn't judge others, we should respect them.

Families may be different, the most important is respect and love to each other.

From the very beginning of the video we are introduced not just to different animals in the zoo but to different types of families too. We were told little bits about each animal family group; what they were doing or what they looked like but all of them though they were different loved and cared for their babies. with roy and silo it is no different tail when it came to the love of their baby. A family is a family no matter what shape,size,color or sexual orientation. And said best by the Beatles "...All you need is love; Love, Love is all you need" <3

Love is what defines a family
Sarah Bundy

I think this book shows that while there may be all different kinds of families they all have one thing in common: love.

There are many different types and styles of families, but that doesn't mean they are wrong. As long as there is love in the family unit, it doesn't matter if there are two daddies, two mommies, one mom and one dad, or only one mom.

A lot of families can look different but are just as capable of being good parents as a traditional family.
Shannon Ludvigson

That there are many different types of families that are all made out of the common thread called love and characterized by togetherness.
Sarah Allen

This story tells us that families come in many different forms and none are the same. The traditional family structure is not necessarily better or worse than any other family structure. We should accept all family types and structures equally.

The book is telling me that the world we live in today has become modern. Not only mother and father raises health child but also 2 daddies or mummies can have family and raise health child. The main point of the story is, no mater what your belief are, don't interfere with others believes and try to be respected.

What this video/book is saying is everyone is different. We come from different families and the traditional family description is no longer valid. Families are coming in many forms and it should be viewed in a way that is supportive and caring for the children we are caring for. 1/16/2017 10:00:17 pm
families come in many forms, shapes and sizes. Some have two moms, some a mom and a dad, some two dads and so on and that's just fine.
Bailey Duenas

That no two families will ever be identical, families can come in many forms, shapes, or sizes and that is ok because no matter what they are still loving-caring parents.

The message about families is that they can be very diverse as in the case of having two fathers. However, at the end of the day they serve the purpose of nurturing, protecting, and guiding the children in their care.
megan

The message this story portrays about families is that there are all kinds of families in this world. Families that have two fathers or two mothers, families with grandparents or extended family, and families with a mother and a father.

the message i get is no one family is alike weather they are traditional or not
Sarah Garnett

The book emphasizes how families come in all diverse forms and their is no right way to form a family.
Andrea ofiara

I think the message is saying that families don't need to be made up of a mom, dad, brother and sister. It can be made up of anyone who shows love and care for each other.

Karly Schroder

This story demonstrates that families are made of all different kinds of people and relationships, and the bottom line is that love is the common theme in each family.
Megan Rockstad

the message about families is that a family can be one with a mother and a father, one with two fathers, one with two mothers, or one that has only one parent.
Ayita Berhane

The message given in this story is that there are many different kinds of families and they are all just as valid - this book especially highlights how a family can be composed of two parents of the same gender as well as two parents of different genders.

It is saying a child can be raised by different genders father to father and mother and mother or single, but we need to respect that. they can be wonderful parents and we shouldn't go judging others.
Rebecca Pedersen

Family is composed of love not matter what form it takes.
Sarah schoen

I think it is saying that no matter if the children have a mom and dad or two moms or two dads for divorced families that as long as the children are show love and affection that is what is most important. Also that we accept these families and help each family field just as equally important in our classroom.

The message that is being taught is that a family is a family, no matter the sexual orientation. As long as the child has two loving parents that care for him/her.
