Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
What Is a Family?

59/100

Teaching kids the real names for animal family groups (a pride of lions, a cast of hawks) while sneaking in an ABC lesson is a clever, low-friction way to talk about family diversity without wading into human family-structure debates directly. It's a nice idea, but I found only blog-level mentions, no real critical review to confirm it lands well on the page.
