Although we can never totally protect our children, research already shows that a critical part of dealing with unacceptable teenage behaviour and protecting young people from dangerous activities is the quality of their relationship with their parent, the boundaries set by parents, and the amount of involvement parents have in their children’s lives.
This research project will try to identify how parent attitudes about their parenting influences their child’s behaviour. The study will explore what parents do to protect their teenage children from harmful activities such as alcohol and truancy.
We need parents and their adolescent children to answer questions about the children’s behaviour, parenting, the parent-adolescent relationship and how parents see the world.
Are you the parent of a 10–18 year-old child?
If you are the parent of 10-18 year-old child and interested in helping us learn more about parenting adolescents, here’s how you can take part:
- You complete the survey online (your child does not take part in this option). Complete the survey online: Parenting Adolescents Survey
AND
- Ask your child to also complete the survey.
This research is completely voluntary and confidential. The survey will take parents about 30 minutes to complete and about 20 minutes for adolescents to complete.
If you have any questions about the study, send an email to Kylie Burke or phone: 0402 512 798.
