Both boy and girl child important and expensive to train in this current state of economic that we are. Having said that, a girl child is more expensive to train than a boy child. The reason why a girl child is more expensive to train is much which one of the key reasons if a girl child is not trained she may get so spoiled early age.

Also, girls need more maintenance than boys and the cost of plaiting the hair of a girl child is more than the cost of Barbing the hair of a boy child. The other reasons why I do think girl child is more expensive than boy child to train are;

Clothing In some families, parents spend more on clothing for girls due to societal pressure and fashion trends and girls' clothing options are so many more than that of boys.

Personal Care: Girl children may need more spending on personal care items, hairstyle, and cosmetics, especially as they grow older.

Extracurricular and Education: Girl children like participating in extracurricular activities such as music, dance, and gymnastics which can be expensive for parents to raise fund

However, the cost of raising either a girl child or a boy child depends more on individual family priorities, choices, and circumstances than on the gender of the child alone. Different may experience varying costs that are based on the following; education, interest, and lifestyle.

If I were to be a parent today, I would prefer to have both genders and I would prefer the male gender to be my first child. I love a family that has both genders male and female in the house. However, the main reasons why I would prefer to have a male gender are:

• In society males are seen as the head of the house I would like to have a male gender for such reasons.

• The male gender always looks out and provides for his family more than the female gender.

• If a male gender gets married he will still be looking after his parents and loved ones.

• The male gender is harder working than the female gender.

During adolescence, which gender shows tendencies to go out of control? Why

The truth is both girls and boys can exhibit tendencies to go out of control during adolescence, but the nature of the behaviors often differ based on various psychological, social, and biological factors.

Boys

• Boys children are more likely to engage in riskier things, like physical aggression, substance use, and reckless driving.

• Boys children often always want independence in more assertive ways that can lead to conflict.

• Boys children show more outward aggression which can manifest in fighting, defiance, or breaking of rules.

Girls

• Girls' children can experience emotional distress, depression during adolescence, or anxiety. This emotion can make a girl's gut out of control.

• Girls' children may be susceptible to peer pressure regarding relationships and social standing which can lead to unhealthy relationships.

• Instead of a girl child showing physical aggression, you will see a girl child showing relational aggression, like gossiping and manipulating behavior.

Reasons:

• Hormonal Changes
• Brain Development
• Social Expectations
• Peer Influence

In conclusion, both genders can exhibit put of control behaviors during adolescence, but the expression and causes often differ based on a combination of emotional, social, and biological factors.

The statement simply means what a boy can do, if given to a girl to do it, the girl can do it better than the way the boy has done it.

The stage reflects a shift in societal thinking that challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the idea of gender equality. In summary the statement "What a boy can do, a girl can do better", carries a positive, empowering message for girls and women all over the world, it is a statement that is used to balance the understanding of true gender equality where everyone is recognized in our society.
