Abstract
This research investigated the parents’ views and supervision of their children’s use of information and communication technology. Descriptive research design of survey type was adopted for this study. 400 parents were randomly sampled and Parents’ Views and Supervision of Children’s Use of ICT Questionnaires (r=0.86) and (r=0.82) respectively were used to collect data for the study. Data collected were analyzed using simple percentages and Chi-Square. The result revealed that some parents’ views of their children’s use of ICT are not right which subsequently affect their involvement in supervision of their children’s use of ICT. Recommendations were thus offered that schools and other stakeholders should educate parents on children’s proper utilization of ICT and parents are also urged to maintain adequate supervision on their children’s use of ICT.
