Abstract

Strategies by parents were investigated in transmitting values onto their children. Seeing a children's
movie and simulating retelling to the child was used to introduce ten parents with children aging 6-9.
They participated in a semi-structured interview whose answers were qualitatively analyzed, revealing
different intentional strategies conveying values: actively instruct their child; take advantage of the
child’s motivation adding value to it; and teach by experience (or its withdrawal) provided to the
child. The retelling proved to be a suitable procedure for research as the respondents highlighted or
minimized parts of the plot to transmit values or commented they would do so. It is noteworthy the
potential to explore the issue from the standpoint of intergenerational studies.
