The first place you learn about building relationships is through your family. Whether you live with your mom, dad, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, or whomever, your family should be a source of love and comfort for you. That doesn’t mean there won’t be conflict, though! Remember: relationships take time and energy to make them healthy. This section will help you learn more about different kinds of relationships within a family.
