  ABSTRACT: Social emotional learning (SEL) plays a critical role in the development of children, equipping them with the skills needed to navigate relationships, regulate emotions, and solve problems effectively. Parents, as primary educators and role models, hold significant responsibility in fostering these competencies at home. This qualitative research explores the competencies of parents to teach SEL skills to their children, examining their awareness, strategies, and challenges. Data was gathered through semi structured interviews with 20 parents from diverse backgrounds. Findings highlight key competencies, including communication, emotional intelligence, and positive reinforcement, while identifying barriers such as lack of resources and parental stress. Recommendations focus on empowering parents through training programs and community support initiatives.
