Building compassionate futures: The role of parents in teen empowerment and support

Abstract

The foundation of a child's development is parental support, which shapes a child's values, self-worth, and life skills via the parent-child bond. The main goals of this study are to investigate the type of parental support and how it affects teens' self-concept and the interaction between parents and children. A hypothesis was developed utilizing a qualitative exploratory study approach, and the Parental Support Scale (PSS) was used to gather data. The investigation found that parental support favourably influences the parent-child connection. Furthermore, it has an impact that goes beyond adolescence, molding the people these adolescents will grow into and strengthening their capacity to make significant contributions to society. Building a solid parent-child bond should thus be seen as an essential investment in the future.
