In ancient Egyptian culture, the primary responsibility for teaching children around the house typically fell to the mother and the family members. Children learned practical life skills, moral lessons, and social customs primarily at home through observation and direct instruction from their parents. Girls were often taught domestic skills like cooking, weaving, and managing a household by their mothers, while boys might learn farming, trade, or craft skills relevant to their family's profession. Fathers or male relatives could also be involved in educating the boys in skills related to their trade or social role.
