<p>Beatrice Whiting told me in a conversation that their data indicate that girl children stay closer to their mothers, receive more numerous and frequent commands than boys. She suggests that this is training specifically useful for childrearing and household work, in which a woman has to expect to be interrupted irregularly in whatever tasks she is doing, and cannot detach herself from her surrounding situation nor try many new ways to work.
