Boys develop the right side of their brain faster than girls, giving them better spatial, logical, and perceptual skills. They excel at math, building, puzzles, and problem solving.

Girls develop the left side of the brain more rapidly. They excel at speaking and reading, and have an easier time learning foreign languages.

I would like to change the name ‘housewife’ to ‘home maker.’ ‘Housewife’ has such a commercial sound, but ‘home maker’ - there is all the love of home, of happiness, of family and neighborliness in its meaning.

I have found that there is something more important than running the home itself. It is that a woman has her husband’s temperament to consider as well as her own, and also, later on, the temperament of each child.

The woman who can make every member of her family feel that his or her personality matters in all home affairs, and that a little bit of home specially belongs to each one, will surely succeed as a home maker.
