Answer 1

Răspuns:

1. The rules have drastically changed both for boys and girls to be more lenient and free.

2. The boys learnt fishing and farming while girls learnt homemaking skills, homeschooling may make the child feel more isolated as he is unable to interact with other children his age, otherwise it is a very effective system.

3. Openness is very important to make all family members feel safe with talking to each other especially about sensitive topics. Freedom is also important as it sometimes leads to a more developed social life and more life skills.
