These include their day by day experiences of which their parents play a significant role. It has been found globally that cartoons affect children’s behavior. However, in Nigerian context, the nature of cartoon influence on children is not known, and also it has not been determined ifparents are aware of this influence. This study examined the influence of cartoons on Nigerian children’s social behavior from the perspective of parents. A survey research design was adopted for the study and data were collectedfrom 100 parents through questionnaire. Frequency counts and percentages were used for data analysis. The findings showed that most children watched cartoons on daily and weekly basis; most of the children watched violent cartoons where there were lots offights, hero was violent, characters shouted and abused one another. Parents perceptions on influence ofviolent cartoon on children behavior was found to be neutral. It is recommended that training programs should be organized for parents and guardians by the government and organizations on the influence of media on children social behavior and development. Parents should examine the contents of cartoons they provide for their children to ensure that they do not have elements of violence that can affect the children negatively. Parents should intentionally censor the cartoons that their children are exposed to, in terms of age appropriateness and portrayal of violent behavior to be able to prevent the negative influences such cartoons might have on children. Parents and guardians should educate their children on acceptable family and societal values. Entertainment industries should provide policies that will educate parents on what to look out for in violent cartoons.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nParenting children is an honor that comes with a challenge. In the development of children, parents play a very crucial role. They guide the children into the world, lead and show them how to grow up and to be good adults. Parents teach children family and societal values as well. Values are the ‘rules’ we live by, for example, treating objects and people with respect and care of one another (Department of Social Development and UNICEF, 2008) . Parents’ responsibility also includes the provision of all that is needed for children’s optimal development. French (2007), recognized play as one of the major contexts whereby children’s early learning and development take place. Therefore, it is the duty of parents to provide play materials or context that will support children’s learning and development. Many television programs for children are presented in cartoon forms which is a form of play, an avenue by which children learn.  \nEducational Planning 2020 41 Vol. 27, No. 2  \nREVIEW OF LITERATURE  \nCartoons and Children Learning at Home  \nCartoons became part of the cinema history in the late 1800s, the time the first motion pictures were made. A cartoon is a motion picture, mainly a humorous film intended for children, made by using animation instead of live actors (Thompson, 2010) . We can also describe cartoons as movies that are made by filming a sequence of slightly varying drawings or models so that they appear to move and change when the sequence is shown. These are the things that keep viewers (mostly children) fastened to their seats. Initially cartoons were very short because people would be watching these shots in the movie theatres before their feature film. As time went on cartoonists were able to put their shows on TV with extended time, creating the half hour block films that are on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and the Disney Channels today.
