Abstract

This paper examined the effectiveness of early childhood development, care, and education as a panacea to family restiveness. Three specific objectives and three research questions were formulated to guide the research. The study was conducted in omoku, using 137 parents from a federal college of education and 163 students from the demonstration secondary school, omoku. The sample size was made up of all 142 parents, and a 5-point Likert scale was used to calculate the mean ratings. The instrument was face validated by three experts, and a reliability coefficient of .831 was achieved. The instrument was face-validated by three experts, and a reliability coefficient of .871 was achieved. The following findings were made from the study: respondents opined that early childhood education, care, and development act as a panacea to family restiveness as it improves a child's intuition, character, understanding, and confidence level. Parents should live up to the responsibility of giving their children the best by sending them to school at an early age.
