Kenya’s Sessional Paper No. 8 of 2013 on National Values and Principles of Governance recognizes the family as the natural and fundamental unit of the society, and a primary institution of socialization. Under this conceptual framework, socialization has been understood as the creation of shared beliefs and ideals that help to indicate how one should interact and relate within the society. In this regard, parents and guardians mentor and nurture their children into effective, functional and useful members of the society who, not only uphold social values and ethical norms, but also become active citizens in nation building.
