1.2 Statement of the Problem
The problem inherent in the
parental academic achievement and development of children at the early
childhood level cannot be overemphasized because parents are the first
teachers of their children. Unfortunately these days, some parents play
negative roles in the upbringing of their children.
The ages 0–8
years require proper parental care and education in all ramifications.
If appropriate, correct care and education are not given to the children
at this stage, it will lead to children’s acquisition of negative
characters devoid of decent society’s expectations. Some parents love
their jobs than their children. Such parents have little or no time to
stay with their children, nurture and interact with them to know their
feelings.
There were cases where minor injuries at home generated to
complications due to lack of parental care and love. There were cases
where children would either told their parents to come back to pick them
from schools or sometimes would preferred to remain in the school
rather than go home with their parents.
Some parents cannot define
the role of parents from the role of school, until such children are
sent home for either unkept hair, teeth, uniform, socks etc that the
parents would know what to do. All these factors have contributed to the
down-ward performance of children from most families.
The above
problems gave rise to this study as it examined parental roles on early
childhood education and its development in Lagos State.
1.3 Purpose of the Study
This study seeks to ascertain the relationship between parental roles and early childhood education and development.
The specific objectives include:
1. To assess the extent to which parental role affects children’s academic performance.
2.
To find out whether there is any significant difference in the academic
performance of children who are reared by intact parents and those
reared by single parents.
3. To find out whether there is any
significant difference in the attitudes of children reared by intact
parent and those reared by single parents.
4. To find out the
gender difference between the academic performance of children brought
