Overview

Delve into the ideal resource for theory and research on parental monitoring and adolescents' disclosure and concealment from parents. This handbook presents ground-breaking research exploring how adolescents respond to parents' attempts to control and manage their activities and feelings. The chapters highlight how adolescents' responses are as important for their mental health and behaviour as parents' attempts to regulate them. Examining responsive, intrusive, and invasive parenting behaviours, the volume addresses modern challenges like monitoring in the digital age and medical decision-making. It covers cutting-edge research on diverse cultures and groups including Latinx, Turkish, Chinese, LGBTQ+, and chronically ill youth. The internationally recognized contributors offer insights from different theoretical perspectives and describe novel methodological approaches, focusing on variations across different developmental stages, contexts, and cultures.

'Developmentally-nurturant relationships are the foundational bases of thriving across the life span, and this unique and timely handbook brings together the world's leading scholars studying a prime instance of such relationships, those involving parents and their adolescent children. Researchers, students, and practitioners will find this volume to be an essential resource for cutting-edge, theoretically framed, and methodologically rigorous information about how to understand and enhance the diversity of these relationships across adolescence.' Richard Lerner, Professor and Bergstrom Chair, Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Study and Human Development and Applied Developmental Science, Tufts University
