In Nigeria, children hold a great thrust for the future. This paper examined various methods by adult educators in curbing violence among children through various adult education programmes such as literacy education, fundamental education etc. The study was a survey designed to investigate causes, effects and ways of curbing violence among children in Nigeria. Three research questions were formulated and tested for the study. A total of 200 respondents comprising of both teachers and students were selected from 10 public junior secondary schools in Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State. An instrument titled“Curbing Violence among Children” was used to collect data. Data were analyzed using frequency tablesand percentages. The result revealed that children’s violence is mostly caused by family background, peer influence, exposure to violent films, emotional instability and poor child upbringing. Opportunity for sports and other recreational activities, games, debate, excursions, club activities, visitation to schools by parents, establishment of Guidance and Counselling units are some of the strategies suggested for curbing violence among children in the state.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Children, violence, causes, effects, curbing violence. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

Anasi (2011) asserted that the children occupy a prominent place in any society and children have the potential to develop powerful new skills for action.  \nChildren violence wears many faces. It includes gang activity, locker thefts, bullying and intimidation, gun use, assault—just about anything that produces a victim. Violence is perpetrated against students, teachers and ranges from intentional vendettas to accidental killings of bystanders.  \nAccording to Jenkins (1993), exposure to community violence occurs through various modalities that include the media, observation, hearsay and direct contact either as perpetrator or victim .  \nChildren violence is probably as old as mankind  \nbecause history revealed that until relatively recent time, children had no right and maltreatment was socially sanctioned as a means of educating and disciplining a child. Abdullah (2014) indicated that in the ancient Roman Empire, the Potria Postestas allowed the father to sell, sacrifice, mutilate or kill his off-spring. From the 19th to mid 20th centuries, children came to be viewed with greater affection even when they were expected to learn to control selfish impulses and to acquire traits that would permit them to function satisfactorily in a particular culture. Child rearing practice for the first time became more pre-planned.  \nThe World Health Organization (WHO, 2002) defines violence as the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, mal-development or deprivation.  \nAfr Educ Res J 182  \nOlweus (1999) also confined violence to the use of physical force. He defined violence or violent behaviour as aggressive behaviour where the actor or perpetrator uses his or her own bo","cbCait91dFIwueNr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait91dFIwueNr","pdf",53412,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Objectives of the study","[{\"question\":\"What adult education programmes are discussed for curbing violence among children?\",\"answer\":\"The paper examines methods used by adult educators, including literacy education and fundamental education, as approaches to curb violence among children.\"},{\"question\":\"What causes of children’s violence does the study identify?\",\"answer\":\"The findings point to family background, peer influence, exposure to violent films, emotional instability, and poor child upbringing as major causes.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected and analyzed in the study?\",\"answer\":\"A survey design used an instrument titled “Curbing Violence among Children” with 200 respondents from 10 public junior secondary schools.
