In its provision, caregivers emphasize observing children’s personal cues and signals to appropriately respond to them and thus create quality caregiver-child relationships. In this study, the perceptions, practices, and challenges faced by SOS mothers in providing responsive care for their SOS children are described. Through purposive sampling, 12 SOS mothers from established urban and rural villages who have been caring for their SOS families for at least one year and are conversant in English or Filipino participated in one-on-one, semi- structured interviews. Thematic analysis showed that SOS mothers place utmost importance on responsive caregiving and demonstrate its practices by observing, conversing, sharing activities, and creating their household routines. Results also present that SOS mothers practice this despite being unfamiliar with the term and facing numerous challenges in providing responsive care. This has since aided them in familiarizing and establishing familial relationships with their children. These findings may serve as a means for caregivers, especially in alternative caring agencies, to understand the importance of responsive caregiving in nurturing the child, as well as describe the operations of SOS Children’s Villages Philippines.
