Abstract

Numerous problems face childhood in contemporary Nigeria. This paper discusses the main features of the problems as they affect the two major institutions for socialization, the family and the schools. The needs of the modern Nigerian child, especially for his future survival, are highlighted.

It serves as an interpretation of a new positive concept of childhood survival necessary to meet the challenges posed on such a level in a developing country.
