Parental Guidance Towards the Attitudes of Intermediate Pupils of Panghayaan Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Children nowadays during their teenage life are very much concerned with the kind of family they belong to and the attention they get from parents. Parents lay the strong foundation for moral and personality development of the child. They provide emotional security, which is the very source of a child's personality. One of the most crucial responsibilities of parents is cultivating appropriate attitudes in their offspring and to contribute to their proper education. It is common for Filipino parents to say to their children that education is the best inheritance that they could bestow upon them and that education will pave their way to success in life.
