COMMUNITY QUESTION
How would I get the 3rd parameter in table.insert which is v.Parent to print?

You seem to not understand how table.insert works. You're assuming table.insert can take a tuple and insert it all into a given table.
Argument order of table.insert is table.insert(t, i, v) where [i] = v.
So if v is absent, it is assumed that v is i and v is inserted at #t + 1 (the very end position)
When you do supply the second optional argument, everything at and after position i will be shifted 1 to the right, and v is in position i
-- Code example
t = {9, 8, 7};
table.insert(t, 2, "test");
print(table.concat(t, ", "));
The output would be
9, test, 8, 7
Because the string was inserted at position 2. insert doesn't just replace.
local tbl = {}
for _, v in ipairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == 'Value' then
table.insert(tbl, v.Value)
table.insert(tbl, v.Name)
table.insert(tbl, v.Parent)
end
end
wait(1)
for i, v in ipairs(tbl) do
print(i, v)
end
