Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques Related to Value Formation in Children and Adolescents:

• Understanding Values:
  Values are principles or norms guiding behavior, helping individuals distinguish right from wrong and influencing daily interactions.
• Primary Sources of Value Learning:
  • Parents:
    • First and most direct influence on children’s values from birth.
    • Children learn by observing and imitating parental behavior (based on Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory).
    • Emotional bonds and trust with parents facilitate internalization of values like honesty, empathy, respect, and hard work.
  • School:
    • Acts as an extension of the home environment through curriculum and social interactions.
    • Subjects like Civics, history, and literature explicitly teach ethics, justice, Human Rights, and social responsibility.
    • School climate promoting respect, participation, and democratic values fosters community and cooperation.
    • Teachers serve as role models influencing student values.
    • Social-emotional Learning programs enhance empathy, self-regulation, and social awareness.
• Interaction Between Parents and School:
  • The two environments complement and reinforce each other’s influence.
  • Effective collaboration (learning partnership) between parents and schools ensures consistent messaging and strengthens value internalization.
  • Coherence between home and school environments maximizes value formation, preparing youth to be ethical and responsible citizens.
• Recommendations for Parents and Educators:
  • Recognize and embrace their crucial role in value education.
