Abstract

Conclusion. This research confirms the link between self-esteem and the adolescent-parent relationship. The findings reveal a positive correlation between self-esteem and parent-adolescent relationships, emphasizing parents' crucial role in shaping adolescent self-esteem. The study’s implications are both theoretical and practical, highlighting the importance of positive parenting and its impact on self-esteem. It suggests the need for educational programs for parents to raise awareness of how they influence adolescent self-esteem, particularly by promoting healthy communication and relationships within families.  These findings underline the need for designing parenting programs to enhance adolescent well-being.
