| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the interactions (help, tolerance, tenderness and appreciation) of parents with their children not older than eight years in Osun State, it examined the interactions of caregivers with the children under their care between the age of zero to eight years in the study area, it assessed the influence of parents’ and caregivers’ interactions with the children on their emotion in the State and assessed the influence of parents and caregivers’ interactions with the children’s behaviour. These were with a view to providing empirical information on the influence of parents’ and caregivers’ interaction on children’s emotions and behavioural patterns in their early years of development. The study employed descriptive survey research design. Population of the study comprised parents and caregivers of children between ages zero and eight years in Osun State. The sample size comprised 120 children, 120 parents and 120 caregivers using multi-stage sampling procedures. From the three senatorial districts in the State, two Local Government Areas (LGAs) were randomly selected. From the selected LGAs, one private primary school and one public primary school were selected using random sampling technique. 10 parents and 10 caregivers with children between ages zero and eight were purposively selected. Two instruments were used: Questionnaire on Caregivers’ Interaction with Young Children (QCIYC) and Questionnaire on Parents’ Interaction with Young Children (QPIYC). Data collected were analysed using mean ranking and regression. The result of the study showed that the interactions (help MS=3.9, tolerance MS=3.84, tenderness MS=3.73 and appreciation MS=3.7) of parents with their children not older than eight years in Osun State were high, having the mean score that falls above the 3.0 benchmark used to measure the variables identified. The result also revealed that the interactions (help MS=3.61, tolerance MS=3.68, tenderness MS=3.59 and appreciation MS=3.53) of caregivers with the children under their care between the age of zero and eight years in the study area were high, with the mean score above 3.0. Furthermore, result showed that there was a significant influence of parents’ and caregivers’ interactions with the children on their emotion in the State with R-squared value of 0.303 and p-value=0.001. Similarly, there was significant influence of parents’ and caregivers’ interactions with the behaviour of children with the R-squared value of 0.285 and p-value=0.001. The study concluded that parents’ and caregivers’ interactions with children have a great influence on the emotional and behavioural patterns of children in the early years of development. | |
