Being Adolescent in the Mayan Society, as any other culture/ society there "norms" or "responsibilities" that learned and need to be followed through. In the Mayan Culture children were raised and treated as adults. Mayan Children are raised to help and learn from their parents , this includes, household chores, survival skills, hunting skills if needed. For the most part there are different "norms" or " responsibilities" for genders. In the perfect example, the mother would show and teach her daughter her skill and a father would show his son his skill and if the father had a job, then he would show his son, how to get the job required done. "Maya children were treated like small adults. A girl's job was to learn from her mother. A boy's job was to learn from his father how to do the same occupation as his father."
