Mother knows best Perhaps it is because mothers tend to be with their children day and night while fathers, busy with their work, have less time with the kids. Perhaps it is just that men and women are different. Whatever the reason, it is usually the mother that first discovers that her child has a problem and who best understands the child's needs.
或許是母親與孩子朝夕相處，父親忙於工作與孩子相處較少；或許是男、女特質的差異，母親常是第一個發現孩子問題、最能瞭解孩子需求的人。
