Social Integration and Development of Boy Child in Kenya.

Abstract

Over the years, so much emphasis has been placed on raising girls to higher levels that society has forgotten about the boy child. At the time, society in Africa and particularly in Kenya was content with the boy child's position and unconsciously focused on the girl child to the alienation of the boy. The callous disregard for boys has caused a decline in their development and performance and caused an identity crisis. Consequently, a significant majority of the African boychild have grown into dysfunctional adults. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the role of social integration on the development of boy child in Kenya.
