Abstract

This study explores the role of values education in enhancing a child's holistic development, focusing  on the insights provided by Filipino parents. Through qualitative interviews, the study examines  parental perspectives on values education, their level of involvement, challenges faced, and the impact  on holistic development. The research is situated within the Philippine context, where values  education is considered a crucial component of the educational system. The findings reveal that  parents in the Philippines recognize their role as primary educators and actively engage with their  children in values discussions and activities. They understand the importance of their own behavior  and values as models for their children's moral development. Parental involvement includes creating  a supportive environment for open communication and utilizing strategies such as storytelling and  community service activities. Challenges identified by parents include navigating external influences  and limited resources for effective values education. Parents highlight the need for collaboration  between parents, schools, and the community to address these challenges and capitalize on  opportunities. The study also demonstrates the significant impact of values education on holistic  development. Parents emphasize its influence on social-emotional development, moral character, and  cognitive skills. They believe that values education cultivates empathy, responsibility, integrity, and  critical thinking in their children, preparing them for future success. This research contributes to the  understanding of the importance of values education in the Philippine context and provides insights  for educational policy and practice. It highlights the need for a strong emphasis on values education  within the educational system and underscores the role of parental involvement and collaboration  among stakeholders.
