Formal Education
In previous decades, there were a large number of mandatory courses for young women to learn the skills of housework. In high school, courses included sewing, cooking, nutrition, home economics, family and consumer science (also known as F.A.C.S) and food and cooking hygiene. More recently, these courses have been mostly abolished, and many people of both sexes in high school and college would be more likely to explore resources on the more academic topics of child development, child psychology and managing children's behaviour.
