INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The
family and its background play a vital role in the development of any child
this is to say that the personality of the child is based mostly on the family
background
Baler
and Don (1991) define personality as a characteristic way of thinking, feeling
and acting. It is an interaction by which an individual learns the social and
cultural requirement that will make him or her a functioning member of that
society which teaches habits, ideas attitudes and values.
A
child is a man in a small letter who when is born becomes a new member in the
family. The family background can either contribute to his psychological well
being or render him undesirable member through its bad influence.
Naturally, every normal child wants to be appreciated, wanted and understood.
Children get satisfactions from their parents and families and it’s because of
these that much of their expenses with their parents are so meaningful parents
purpose should be to assist each child to grow and develop manner that will be
both personality satisfying to the child and socially acceptable.
The
family is primary both in shaping the child’s personality and in the providing
its basic socialization. Why because the family unit is the first instructional
school and the parents are is the best guarantee of mental health to the
growing child. The home is therefore regarded as the site of learning for the
development of child personality.
Only
when children have satisfactory relationship with members of their family that
they could enjoy social relationship with people outside their home;
People have believe that the couldn’t of a child in public places and in all
situations portrays his family background.
The
family can either be for better or for worse hinder or protect that personality
of the child. It is important to also note that families very in dimensions of
control, as you can see or know that child from literate or illiterate,
monogamous broken family’s e.t.c
Produce different personalities because of the different ways of child training
or up bringing it is at the family that the child first differentiates himself
or herself as liked or disliked wanted or unwanted. This implies that if the
foundation of the family is weak, the tendency is that the personality of the
child will be dangerous and the society will collapse.

question is; is it not possible to bring up children again as disciplined and
responsible being this has prompted the researcher to carryout investigation

background for rearing children should all the family be the same or what is
the criteria for determining which the family background is proper. Should one
of the family background is proper. Should one family be polygamous or
monogamous, procreation or orientation broken families in order to bring up
