At this stage, she is a potential mother, wife, and a home Manager at least when she has reached eighteen years. At the home front she becomes a mother, teacher, friend and caretaker of her husband and her children. At the office, she exercises her managerial skills in the home to effect the lives of others and the well – being of the society. 3 Note before with illustration of the girl-child when she is growing up until she reaches the age of puberty, when the breasts start swinging out and she eventually starts menstruating ready for motherhood.
