CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the study
Child
up-bringing practices and early childhood education are usually tied to
the beliefs about what life is all about and how to sustain it in the
society. This is not peculiar to Africa alone, as it is common to all
races, there is a greater percentage of influence which child upbringing
practices have over early childhood education. Babajire (2000).
According to a biblical expression that says teach your child the way to
go, so that when he grows up, he will not depart from it". This
expression agrees with the provision in National Policy on Education
(2013) which highlights purpose of early childhood education as
provision of the necessary stimulation and opportunities of the right
level and development of the child.
For years, anthropologists,
sociologist and psychologists have been providing descriptions of how
children are raised within cultures around the world, including the
beliefs and practices surrounding pregnancy, child birth and treatment
of young children. According to UN1CEF consultative group report on
early childhood care and development (1993), child upbringing practices
are enabled in the culture and determine to a large extent, the
behaviour and expectations surrounding child's birth and infancy. This
also influences the early childhood, adolescence and the way these
children bring up their own children in future. Furthermore, the
submission of the anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists
suggest that child up-bringing consists of practices, which are grounded
in cultural practices pattern and beliefs, these include breast feeding
and weaning, toilet training, language development, social and
emotional development. All these have impacts on the early childhood
education of individual.
Maduewesi (2007) defines early childhood
education or pre-school education as a semi - formal education
arrangement, usually outside the home where by young children from about
the age of three to five are exposed through play like activities in a
group setting to social and physical learning which are proportionate to
their development, until the mandatory age of government approved
formal schooling.
National Policy on Education, the following are
highlighted as the objectives of early childhood/pre-school education:
To effect a smooth transition from home to school. To prepare the child
for the primary level of education. To provide adequate care and
supervision for the children while their parents are at work (on the
farm, in the market, offices etc.) To inculcate social norms. To
inculcate in the child, the spirit of enquiry and creativity through the
exploration of nature, the environment, art music and playing toys. To
develop a sense of cooperation and team work To learn good habit,
especially good health habits. To teach the rudiments of numbers
letters, colours, shape, forms and through play. Thus since the
education of the child starts right from home being the first place he
interacts with, the kind of up-bringing practices employed by parents
or guardian has lots to do in the education of children in the early
years. In other words, there is significant relationship between the
transit from home to the school and the objectives of early childhood
education as stated in the National Policy on Education.
