Trends in Family Communication Patterns and Parent-Adolescent Relationship: Implications for Research in Nigeria
(2019) Dooshima, S . A.; Elegbe, O.
This paper critically examines studies that have researched into parent-adolescent relationships with particular interest in the communication patterns through which such relationships are enacted. It reviews existing literature on parent-adolescent relationship research globally against the backdrop of parent-adolescent relationship research in Nigeria. It seeks to find out the research methods, sampling techniques, and the methods of data analysis adopted in studies investigating parentadolescent relationships globally. Adopting the Systems theory and Rules theory as theoretical framework for the analysis; the study used content analysis to generate data from various scholarly articles published in recognised academic journals, E-books and doctoral theses accessed via online databases. The primary basis for the selection of any article for analysis is that such article must focus on issues and themes on family communication patterns and parent-adolescent communication in parentadolescent relationships with exceptional interest in Nigeria. Most of the reviewed studies about (85%) were conducted in European nations while about (15%) were conducted in African nations. Majority of the studies (71.3%) adopted survey while 28.7% utilised the mixedmethod design. Most of the reviewed studies adopted the convenience sampling and purposive sampling techniques but employed multi-methods in their data analysis. This study suggested that more research efforts should be invested in communication and parentadolescent relationship in Nigeria to fill the gap created in parent-adolescent relationship literature in Nigeria.

Evaluation of the activities of the juvenile court in the protection of abused and neglected students at the zonal social welfare agency in Ibadan, Nigeria
(Department of Social Works, University of Ibadan, Ibadan., 2002) Folaranmi, O. O.
This study was carried out to evaluate the activities of the juvenile court in the protection o f abused and neglected children at the Zonal Social Welfare Agency in Ibadan, Nigeria. The major objective of the study was to find out if the goals for the establishment of the court are being met. The target population for the study was mostly children who had suffered from one form of abuse or the other. Fifty people were used as sample for the study. The method of data collection was through questionnaire administered personally by the researcher. Oral interviews were also conducted for both staff and the respondents. The responses collected, are scored and analyzed using chi-square statistics. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made on how well and how best the government can discourage child abuse and neglect through workshops, seminars, radio and television programmes.
Do you call these speech errors or language disorder?
(2013) Fadoro, J. O.
It is often assumed that the apparent errors children make in terms o f omissions or substitutions in an attempt to produce adult speech are generalised. Some even confuse them with speech disorders or errors. However, it has been proved that children are systematic in their production and they follow specific principles and patterns in the process of language acquisition. Literature showed that these processes are not only universal, but hierarchically ordered. Data for this study were obtained from the author's children at different ages, ranging from 1 to 2'A years, and have been used to teach Language Acquisition and Second Language Learning- a final year course in the Department o f Linguistics and African Languages, University o f Ibadan (LIN 472) since 2006/2007 session with positive results. This paper further discussed 11 phonological processes which are involved in the development o f linguistic skills and disagreed with the general assumption and misconception about apparent speech problems in children
