The Blackfoot children were taught not to cry as soon he or she was born because a crying baby could attract enemies. The children were taught to watch and learn from the adults about their duties and responsibilities at an early age. The boys were taught to be hunters and warriors and the girls were taught to be homemakers. The children learned stories about their traditions, the creatures, and the earth so they could pass the stories on to their children. In the children's play time they mocked the adults. Therefore the girls set up little tipis and the boys played with miniature bow and arrows and they learned to hunt birds, rabbits and prairie dogs.
