Formal education
In previous decades, there were a large amount of mandatory courses for young women to learn the skills of homemaking. In high school, courses included sewing, cooking, nutrition, home economics, family and consumer science (aka F.A.C.S) and food and cooking hygiene. More recently, these courses have been mostly abolished, and many women 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 behavior.
