What is Values?
Values are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate attitudes or actions.
They help us to determine what is important to us. Values describe the personal
qualities we choose to embody to guide our actions; the sort of person we want to be;
the manner in which we treat ourselves and others, and our interaction with the world
around us. They provide the general guidelines for conduct.

Values in a narrow sense is that which is good, desirable, or worthwhile. Values are
the motive behind purposeful action. They are the ends to which we act and come in
many forms. Personal values are personal beliefs about right and wrong and may or
may not be considered moral. Cultural values are values accepted by religions or
societies and reflect what is important in each context.

Periods of Development
As we get older, we go through stages in which our values develop. They're as
follows:

Imprint Period Modeling Period Socialization Period

The Imprint Period
Ages from 1 to 7 is considered an imprint period. This means that childhood
experiences around these ages are likely to have an impact on who that child
becomes, how they feel, behave and represent the world to themselves in later life.

This is why it is extremely important that a child is given the opportunity to

understand their feelings and emotions. Failure to do so could lead to that child
growing up and feeling unable to ever achieve their full potential.
The Modeling Period
In the modeling period the child, both consciously and subconsciously, begins to model
the behaviors of people around them. Until around the age of seven, most children do
not distinguish between self and parents. However, around eight years of age, the
child begins to separate enough notice the differences between self and parents. Now
he or she develops awareness of other people.

They begin to model or emulate the behavior of their heroes and/or people who they
look up to in their life. Certain mental filters such as individual values begin to form at
this age. The child is beginning to form a sense of self…an identity of their own. From
eleven to thirteen they play around with different roles and different ways of being
based upon their favorite role models. This is the beginning stages of adolescence.
The Socialization Period
During this stage between 13 and 21, the developing teenager begins to shift focus
from family to friends. Relationships and social values form and usually last
throughout life. If teenager self esteem issues revolve around difficulty in the social
areas of life, look for possible root causes in this period as well.
Moral Development
In becoming a well principled person they must move through these levels in a fixed
order according to Lawrence Kohlberg:

Post-Conventional Level
Preconventional Conventional Level
Level
The Preconventional Level
The premoral level of development, also known as the preconventional level, is
considered the first stage of child development, when behavior is motivated by either
pain or pleasure.

During the preconventional level, a child’s sense of morality is externally controlled.

Children accept and believe the rules of authority figures, such as parents and
teachers, and they judge an action based on its consequences.
The Conventional Level
The conventional level is the second stage and occurs during adolescence and
adulthood. During this stage individuals begin to develop personal moral codes by
internalizing the rules of adult role models. There is no questioning of these norms and
rules during this stage, they are adopted and not critiqued.
The Post-Conventional Level
The post-conventional level, also known as the principled level, is marked by a
growing realization that individuals are separate entities from society, and that the
individual's own perspective may take precedence over society's view; individuals may
disobey rules inconsistent with their own principles. Post-conventional moralists live
by their own ethical principles—principles that typically include such basic human
rights as life, liberty, and justice.

Biblical Point View of Values Development
In the Bible, there are many verses that takes perspective on values development.
Here are a select few verses with their comprehended meanings below each verse:

Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have,
because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.

The direction of our life, the tenor of our conversation and the disposition of our
hearts should always be pleasing to the Lord, for we are God’s children. We are to be
holy for God is holy, and contentment is a significant key. Hearts that seek the Lord,
learn to be content in every situation of life, and the person that is content, is one
that is not beset by envy or greed.
Luke 6:31
"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you."

"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you," is often an aggressive
accusation that is blurted out by someone who has been offended by another person
and who does not understand the context or underlying principle upon which this
instruction, from the Lord Jesus, is given.
Acts 20:35
"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the
weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more
blessed to give than to receive.’”

In Acts 20:35 the apostle Paul is speaking to the church of Ephesus when he quotes
Jesus by saying: “‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” When Jesus says our
giving is more blessed, He’s telling us that there is more happiness or joy to be found
in God when we give, rather than when we receive.
