Chapter 1 of the new Class 4 EVS textbook Our Wondrous World is Living Together. It looks at how people live together in families and communities, and the different ways members help and depend on one another.
Living in a Family
Q: What are some ways family members help each other at home?
A: Family members help by sharing household chores (cooking, cleaning), caring for younger or older members, and supporting each other emotionally when someone is upset or unwell.
Community Living
Q: What is a community, and why do people live together in one?
A: A community is a group of people living in the same area who share resources, help each other, and cooperate for common needs like safety, festivals, and support during difficult times.
Different Kinds of Families
Q: Are all families the same size and structure?
A: No. Some families are small (just parents and children), while others are large joint families with grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins living together or nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions

A nuclear family consists of parents and their children living together; a joint family includes extended relatives like grandparents, uncles, and aunts living together or very close by.
