1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Many have
believed that working mothers exert negative influence on their children
educational development. Children of women who work are believed to be
slow in learning at their early years of growth. These children do not
have the privilege to have motherly care and they have less support from
their mothers' in terms of being assisted with their home works. Being
at home, they are left unsupervised and they are released into the hands
of the mass media that do not have positive norms to show to these
children.
These children have no help when they need their help of a
trustworthy and reliable person who is nothing but their parents. Thus,
they engage in every form of social vices because these are what they
have learnt from mass media that have become their "foster parents."
They smoke, fight, commit sexual immorality, and cheat in examination
and many of them are dying of drug, cigarette, sexual abuse, homosexual,
drinks, cultism, and street fighting to examine the impact of working
mothers on their children educational development.
