Can someone tell me the theme of this short story? Randall squinted up through the trees, trying to gauge the time, but gave up

quickly. He should have paid attention when his father taught the family to read the position of the sun. He should have paid attention, too, before sneaking off this morning on his first solo hike, forgetting the whistle his mother stressed he always bring.
He pictured his parents now at their camp beneath the tree with the eagle’s nest, wondering where he was. Randall was wondering the same thing. Lost and out of food, he feared he had but a few hours before darkness closed in, trapping him in the bitter cold with the creatures of the night.

He closed his eyes to fight back tears, when he heard it in the distance. Water! His father’s words came flowing into his mind; one tip he actually remembered. “If you’re ever lost, find a river and follow it.”

In a flash, he was on his feet, scaling fallen trees, tearing through brush, frantically following the sound. The sky grew darker, but the noise grew louder, and Randall, tired and scared, forged ahead until he found it. He reached the river bank and was mulling his next move when a sudden splash caught his eye.

A majestic eagle rose from the water, soaring skyward with a freshly caught fish in its talons. Could it be the same eagle nested above his camp? It glided triumphantly into a high nest a short distance away, eager to greet its family. Randall smiled, equally triumphant, eager to do the same as he followed the eagle’s flight.

In the distance, he saw his mother, his whistle clutched in her hand.

This statement changed "Gender Roles" in this person's view that even though Women Wanted the right to do hard labor and work that their husbands, fathers, and soon son's would, they were the housekeepers, and since they no longer have time to watch the children and raise them the way they wanted to, they must trust the government with the television, or schools to not brainwash the next generation.
It revealed that the role of the Woman was just as, if not More important than that of the male's in order to raise and teach the next generation themselves, and teach from their mistakes instead of having to repeat them for no reason.
