Abstract: Background: Family life education (FLE) is an essential education that children born into a home must undergo before reaching adulthood. Adolescents resort to illicit behaviours because they lack the knowledge of family life education. The mother has a great role to play in imparting this knowledge and skills and if properly inculcated into the adolescents, the act of too early initiation of sexual activity, premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, unsafe abortion leading to destruction of reproductive organs, dumping and abandoning babies by the way side and refuse bin and contracting sexually transmitted infections will abate. The attitude of mothers towards family life education of adolescents was assessed in this study.
