todays’ parents and their parenting styles on adolescents life

Abstract

Education is about all-round development. This study puts the ball in the parents’ court in the quest for all round education of the adolescent. The culmination of the effects of parenting may be seen in the adolescent who is on the threshold of independence. Adolescence is a time when a person is torn by conflicting feelings. On the one hand, he is eager to be free, and on the other hand, he wants that there is always someone behind him who supports and takes care of him. This study puts light on the fact that the healthy home environment especially parents can be a strong source of support for developing adolescents. Their styles of nurturance contribute on children's various psycho social aspects of development as well as their academic achievement. Healthy parents can produce healthy children, who in return, can produce a healthy nation. Good parenting can provide close relationships, strong parenting skills, good communication, and modeling positive behavior, so that modifications in the patterns of parenting can be made to make it more favorable for the enhancement of psychosocial competence of the children. This study is an eye-opener for parents so that they may resolve their own conflicts.
