A new survey suggests that mothers are more critical of their daughters, more indulgent of their sons. More than half said they had formed a stronger bond with their sons and mothers were more likely to describe their little girls as “stroppy” and “serious”, and their sons as “cheeky” and “loving”.

Why are mothers more attached to their sons?

It is so because moms also cultivate the emotional intelligence of their sons. They teach them to be open, sensitive to their surroundings, and the feelings of others. Being communicative or expressive helps them enhance their writing and reading skills and that helps them excel in life.
