The family is the basic unit of society; it is a group of people o various ages who are usually related by birth, marriage or adoption. One of the most important functions of the family is to provide for a child's needs because children are unable to care for themselves. These needs include food, shelter, warmth and clothing, love and companionship, protection and support, care and training, a secure environment in which they can develop into young adults.
According to Norman (1969), "it is the family that shapes personality, influence emotional development and pattern that the child first re-enacts in play and then ultimately reproduces in himself. Groups are obviously to social function but of all the groups we belong, the most important group is the family. Family provides the relationship that gives us a sense of identity and personal history (Minett, 1994). The official definition of family by the United State bureau of the census is two or more persons including the householder who live together as one house hold.
Minett supported this view that most of us take for granted that monogamy the marriage of how people is the funds mental building block of the family but it is unfortunate to say that monogamy which is seen as the building block of the family has ended up in divorce, single parenting and even remarriage. In 1960 32% of children under eighteen years lived with a single parent by 1998 the figure increased to 90% (5 bureau census 2000) echildren however have a more difficulty time adjusting, for them divorce sets a sense of change in motion each with the potential to disrupt their lives under adult that recovers after a period of years. An extensive review of studies published during the 1990s found that children from divorced families are worse in terms of academic success, psychological adjustment, self concept, social competence and long term wealth than children from intact, two parents families, Amoto (2000).
These differences are typically attributed to factors such as the absence of a father increased stain in the custodial parent to keep the household running and emotional stress and anger associated with the separation. However, the causes of these problems are more likely to be factors that can be found in how parent families' poor living condition and lack of parental supervision can also leads to children misbehavior, Cherlin, 1992, and Amato and Sololwski, 2001.
Furthermore, the simple fact of children growing up by a single parent family way may not be as important in the development of a child as the way the parents relates to each other and to the child. According to Williams, (1974), it was shown that academic success in school was found to be negatively associated with deviant behaviour in the home. Pearson (1901) stated that "frustration as a result of human needs and affection have affected their behaviour in school. He believed that delinquent children came from homes and that their emotional maladjustments were caused by their parents". Jeffery (1971), supported this view when he said that it would however be wrong to hold teenagers responsible for a decline in moral standards. Their parents who often do not know their own minds are as much to be blame; other studies underline the important of lack of parental control as a factor promoting juvenile delinquency. Educated parents leave children alone for long hours, especially when both parents work and allow their wards a lot of freedom into the bargain. Thus, the absence of parental control even when the relations within that family are not particularly strained can provide opportunities for adolescent to go astray.
Kain, (1990), observed that even children who are fortunate enough to come from interfamily usually left home to work as servant or apprentice in other people's homes must end up living in poverty while others end up in orphanages homes. This happened at the turn of the 20th century and not just because their parents died but because their parents couldn't afford to raise them due to poverty, while the rates of alcohol and drug abuse, school dropout and domestic violence were also higher century ago. It is wise to remember that violence can be psychological as well as physical and that the human spirit can be crushed without leaving any bruises on the body. According to Hughes, (2008). However I think that statistics will support the statement that "fathers trend to come down more heavily on their children than mothers" this he supported using the letter of Paul in Colossians 3:21, father, do not embitter your children or they will become discouraged' a Christian psychiatrist says "behind most problem children you will find a problem father" he was speaking in general terms of course for we all, I am sure no children with the most loving parents who, despite their love, have become wayward. Hughes also pointed out that coming down hard on children crushed their sensitive spirits. It is not good for a father lamenting the fact that his child is not as strong and self reliant as he himself as if he uses his strength to squash the child's fragile ego rather than develop it. He went further to say that endless criticisms, harsh punishment and unrealistic expectation will have their effect in the long run and that many who are timid fearful and played with deep feelings of inferiority and guilt has developed this characteristics not so much by nature but by nurture. Callaham and Clark (1977), is of the view that when one examines the profile of juvenile delinquents and drop outs, one often finds many similarities usually items of personal make-up because their intellectual resources and attitude are under authority is important. Their social adjustment often reflects impulsiveness by strong suggestibility, ego centrism and self indulgence.
Often the home of Millen of the delinquent and dropout is characterized by contradictory social norms, broken family units, economics stress, deteriorated neighbourhood residence, inadequate supervision during formative years and different parental background relationships. In school, failure repeated and multiplied by truancy, discipline problems and nuclear perspective of the future are prevalent.
According to Piaget, most parents holds are lamentable psychologists and the moral training that they give their children is consequential only inadequate. Those few parents who do seek to reason with their children to be concerned more with motives than with consequence can however achieve good and early results. Piaget recognizes too that an affectionate mutual relationship between parents and child tends to develop a higher morality of generosity and altruism and that guilt feeling, developing into conscience may be arouse din a child from such a home.
According to Dittimiya (1995) "the family that lays moral and spiritual foundation for the child to build on in later life". Pestalozzi stated that the home is the natural education of mankind. Hence, the home is the school of morality, charity, they say begins at home. If the family fails to impact the right habit to the child before he gets to school, he might become a social problem to the system and most cases of indiscipline in our school are traceable to lack of home training for some youngsters.
A study of juvenile delinquency carried out in Lagos Nigeria in 1968 found a close relationship between the development of delinquent behaviour which is necessary anti-academic and broken homes and family instability. Report from other African countries confirm the influence of the broken home a juvenile delinquency. A broken home can prove to be a great obstacle to a child's ability and motivation to succeed academically, it may disturbs him of valuable parental help, encouragement and guidance and lead him ultimately to seek psychological sustenance and security outside the family for example with the peer group of dropout, a breeding ground of juvenile delinquency.
"Home sweet home" this familiar saying expresses a sentiment that nowadays seems hopelessly out moulded, unrelenting family conflicts turn many homes into veritable battle field and a yawning communication gap often frustrate any attempts at calling a truce (Questions young people ask). Norman is of the view that it is the family that sharpens personality, influences emotional development and patterns moral concepts, it socializes the child, transmitting adult roles behaviour pattern that the child first reenacts in play and then ultimately reproduces in himself. According to Thomas (1990), family violence particularly child abuse is on the increase, children believe what their parents tell them so it is important for parents to know the kind of words they use on their children. A good will message to the consultative retreat education stakeholders by Dr. Abdul-Lateef Adegbite states that "if moral ethnics are inculcated in our children from their early years, they will learn the virtues of honesty, righteousness, truth and decay which are an anathema to all forms of malpractices, including cheating in examination.
