The curriculum content implemented, the practices surrounding the implementation and the child raising practices at home determine what an individual child becomes later in life. Education exposed to individuals that become teachers, medical doctors and the likes, is the same exposed to those who become terrorists, kidnappers and other anti-social professionals. What brings about the different outcomes is the level of developmental violence in the education and the practices. The developmental traits common to children who received Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Nigeria provide evidence that there are problems with either the content of ECE or the practices in the child’s immediate environment. The regurgitation of facts, development in intellectual domain only and the poor acquisition of language of the immediate environment are obvious in the children. This study, therefore, examines the ECE centres and homes of the children in terms of content delivered and the common practices adopted. A qualitative method of research with a desktop review of 35 studies was carried out. The findings revealed that adoptions of a foreign language, too much restriction from playing among others are some of developmental violent practices at homes and ECE centres. Creating awareness about hidden developmental violent practices and implementation and supervision of the language of instruction policy among others are recommended. |
