6- Paternalism and parental authority. The report mentions an announcement in which the father has a very patriarchal attitude, due to girls seeking their consent.

7- Imposed motherhood and care linked to a specific model. When a symbolic game is represented, girls usually appear taking care of the dolls giving a bottle to the doll, filling and putting a pacifier, trying to sleep in the chair…
