CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
According to
Cleaner Castellino, Machinery and Terry Vilarcial [2005] parenting is the term
summarizing set of behaviors involved across life, in the reactions among
organisms that are usually the same and typically members of different but
cohorts. Parenting interaction provide resources across the generational groups
and functions in regard to domains individual survival reproduction, nature and
socialization, this parenting is a complex process involving much more than a
mother or father providing food and succor to an infant or child. Parenting
involves bio-directional relationship between members of two or more generation
and can extend through all major parts of the respective life spans of these
groups which may engage all institution within a culture including education,
economic, political and designed settings which the group left behind [Ford and
Leaner Lager] “parenting is both a biological and social process.
The training
given to a child, to a large extent determine his or her self-concept. The
parenting styles of individual also determine how the child will adjust to the
society emotionally. There are different families. There is the single parent
homes, the two parents homes and the multiple parents homes which is generally
known as polygamy. In these homes you find different styles of parenting being
used. These parenting style have a way of affecting the self-concept of
individual adolescents and their emotional adjustment in the society.
The
parenting styles, goes a long way in determining how an individual sees his or
herself, perception concerning his or her physical, social and psychological
aspiration and emotional adjustment in the society in which he or she lives. It
is therefore important to study the different parenting styles and ascertain
how they determine the self-concept of the individual adolescent. It is also
necessary to look at the way, this will help the individual to adjust
emotionally to the society.
According to
Bornstain [2005], the key functions of a child’s family are to raise the young
person in a healthy as manner as possible. The parents role is to provide the
child with safe, secure, nurturing, loving as well support the child’s
environment, as one that allows the offspring to have a happy and healthy youth
life. This sort of experience allows the youth to develop in knowledge, value,
attitude and behaviour necessary to become an adult, making a productive
contribution to self, family community and the larger society. What a parent
does to fulfill these “duties” or roles is termed parenting in other words,
parenting is a term summarizes behaviour of a person, usually mother or father
in the process of raising a child given to the family.
The effects
of poor parents on the academic performance of their children is absolutely
essential in student’s achievement in school and in life. The overwhelming
studies and research indicate that there are positive academic outcomes
stemming from parental involvement with benefits beginning in early childhood
throughout adolescence and beyond. The impact that parents can have on their
children learning and achievement transcends income levels and social status.
Infact the most accurate predictor of a student achievement in school is not
income or social status, but the extent to which that students family is able
to;
Create a
home environment that encourages learning.
Express high
expectations for their children’s achievement and future careers.
Become
involved in their children’s education at school and in the community. If two
of these three criteria are accomplished, children of low income families will
achieve at or above the levels expected of middle class children.
A child’s
learning is enhanced when schools encourage parents to stimulate their
children’s intellectual development. Numerous studies have shown that the home
environment has a powerful effect on what children and youth learn, not only in
school but also outside of school. This environment is considerably more powerful
than the parent’s income and education in influencing what children learn in
the first six years of life and during the twelve year of primary and secondary
education. One major reason that parental influence is so strong is because the
children spend more than ninety percent of their time from infancy throughout
their childhood outside school under the influence of their parents. Therefore,
ultimately the parents are the first and most important teacher.
Domina and
Knipprath (2005) highlighted the fact that students value their education when
they see the interest shown by their parents. This does not only lead to higher
academic performance, but also to better attendance and improved behaviour at
home and school, when school and home work together collaboratively, and using
a competent approach to education, it can make a huge difference in a student
achievement academically.
Poor
parenting have been identified as a major problems responsible for poor
academic performance of school chidrlen. Many parents believe that the best way
to groom their children especially the adolescents is by being oppressive,
authoritative and autocratic.
In the light
of the above, the research intends to find out the major problems confronting
poor parenting on children and their education in Egor Local Government Area of
Edo State.
The purpose
of this research work is to examine the effects of poor parenting on the
academic performance of their children. The difficulties which parents
experience during their periods of schooling or the types of job they are
involved, which has made them to deviate from their family responsibilities has
been a way of affecting the children of their sound academic performance.
