To make a noun possessive, add 's to the end of the noun. However, if the noun is plural and already ends in "s" then only add the apostrophe.
child → child's
children → children's
cars → cars'
Smiths is plural and ends in "s" so we add an apostrophe to the end to make it possessive.
Smiths → Smiths'
Note: The use of the article "the" in front of the blank tells us that we are referring to a family or group and not a singular person (e.g. Smith). We would not place "the" in front of a singular person's name to show possession in this way (e.g. "the Steve's house").
