7 Important Things Every Mother Should Teach Her Son, Before Age 18!
Many people are under the opinion that, as they grow up, sons become closer to their fathers and daughters relate to their mothers more.
However, contrary to that belief, mothers and sons share a special bond and although sons may look up to their fathers, they tend to listen to their mothers' words more.

Raising daughters and raising sons are slightly different, as the thought processes, interests and behaviour patterns of boys are different from that of the girls.
