Summary:Generally, children are believed to be one of the best worldly gifts. As such their befitting nurturing and nourishment is a must for every well-meaning parent and guardian. Remembrance of the early period and stages of children growth and all round development remain very important and indelible for many times to come and even can be sustained up till the very last moments of this life. It is in recognition of the above submission that the paper takes a holistic approach in the light of noble Qur’ān and Prophetic traditions to x-raying the many inadequacies associated with children upbringing in Nigeria with a view to ensuring their best and perfect training, steering them to all that is good and wholesome. With the corroboration of documentarysources in form of archival materials and other secondary sources, the paper found out that many children at theirtender agesare left unattended to,properand normal guidance havein away eluded them.In other words, these children foundthemselves in nauseatingcircumstances and their brighter future may shatter into shreds. The paper recommendedreligious instructions and good morals asways of salvaging them from misguidance and waywardness.
