The purpose of the present study is to obtain an
understanding of the primary school child's life world while resident at a Boys' Town.
The study presents an extensive review of the literature on developmental phases of
the primary school child, relationships with himself, his family and peer group while
resident in an institution. The study employed the use of quantitative and qualitative
measures to elicit information from the child. To enhance the findings of the study,
information from a comparative group of primary school children with intact families from
the wider community was utilized. The target subjects in the study included all
primary school children resident at a Boy's Town in Tongaat. The results yielded useful
insights in the life world of the primary school child.
These insights into the life world of the primary school child formed the basis for
recommendation and served the direction for future research.
