It is a weapon for learning skills, appropriate information, and habits for an individual to survive in a fast-changing and inventive environment, according to Adepofu (2004). Education, according to Odigbo (2000), is the mechanism by which a person is educated so that he can live efficiently and successfully in society and contribute to its progress and upliftment.
Childhood education is a type of education provided to children aged 2 to 11 years (pre-operational and operational stages). Childhood education is divided into two stages, according to Unachukwu and Ebenebe (2009): early childhood stage (2-5 years) and later childhood stage (6-15 years) (5-11 years).
This study, on the other hand, is focused on a child's growth and development throughout later childhood. In the Nigerian educational system, this is a level meant to prepare children for secondary school. The "primary education stage" of a child's growth and development is referred to as such. During this level of school, a pupil's education is exposed to several programs, one of which is the right to primary education program. According to the National Policy in Education (NPE; 2004), the elementary education program's goals are as follows:
Developing the ability to adjust to a changing environment in the kid.
Permanent reading and numeracy, as well as the capacity to communicate effectively, are instilled.
Citizenship education serves as a foundation for successful involvement in and contribution to society's life.
The establishment of a solid foundation for scientific and critical thinking.
Character and moral education, as well as the formation of good judgment.
Providing a fundamental instrument for future educational accomplishment, including preparation for local trades and crafts.
To attain these goals, all hands must be on deck to give the kid with chances that will expose him or her to the realities of life, which necessitates active involvement.
A society as a broader social system provides and facilitates the smallest, most sensitive, most essential social structure: the family. Shirina (2013) A child's initial point of interaction with the world is his or her family. As a result, the kid receives early schooling and socialization from his or her parents, as well as other essential family processes. According to Agulana (2000), the family establishes the psychological, moral, and spiritual foundations for the child's entire growth.
Many additional variables impact a child's growth, including his or her genetic make-up and the forces that operate around him or her (Mishr a and Bamba, 2012).
When families break up, the children are the ones who suffer the most, since they are often left with intellectual, physical, and emotional wounds that last a lifetime (Anderson, 2002). Spending quality time with your family has a significant impact on your child's academic development. Most parents who practice family see this as a chance for communication, bonding, child development, and learning for their children (Zabriskie and McCormick, 2001). The amount of time parents spend with their children is a significant investment in their well-being and development (Gauthier et al, 2004). Family time is an ideal setting for teaching youngsters how to do the right thing in a natural way.
Family/home is either broken or intact structurally. A stable family provides a foundation for children to succeed in life. Children develop their awareness of sentences, structures, linguistics, syntax, and vocabularies by studying with their parents through block activities with a stable household (Lin, 2010). All of these techniques promote the development of early reading and writing skills. Children from stable households are less likely to engage into conflicts, consider suicide, smoke, consume alcohol, use drugs, or become segxwally active at a young age than children from unstable homes (Eisenberg, et al, 2004). When parents divorce, their children are left with little security, causing them to lose their basic understanding of what it is to be a child.
