AB  - This study focused on home factors necessary for laying the foundational values in youths among
families in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The study specifically examined socio-economic factors, parental life-style,
emotional climate and strategies in laying foundational values in youths among families. The study adopted
descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprises all the households in the study area. A multi
stage sampling technique was adopted in selecting 300 respondents. Research questions were answered on
individual item basis using mean, standard deviation value and chi-square test of goodness fit. The findings
of the study revealed that socio-economic status of parents, parental life styles and emotional climate of the
family affects the laying of foundational values in youths. The findings shows that youth from poor
socio-economic homes are less prepared in life for value and educational programmes. The researchers
recommended that the government should provide for the youths from poor socio-economic families the basic
resources and facilities for proper laying of foundational values, the parents should adopt democratic and
supportive parenting styles in teaching the child about the society values.
