Soskenflokken (Part II of III)
Though more prevalent in the larger families of the early twentieth century, older children were often charged with the care of their younger siblings. Though children of both sexes were expected to fulfill this role, as they became older, girls assumed increasing responsibility.

Girls would help to do the women's work, boys would accompany their father or the other men of the household "(Korkiakangas, 1990, pp. 87-88).
