Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of parent-child communication on adolescent mental health. Given the growing concern about adolescent mental health issues, this study examined the correlation between parent-child communication factors, such as frequency, content, and mode, and adolescent mental health status through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. It has been found that effective parent-child communication helps to establish an emotional connection between adolescents and parents. This connection significantly contributes to the formation of a positive mental health state in adolescents and effectively alleviates mental health problems. Therefore, strengthening parent-child communication is an important way to maintain adolescents' mental health. This study offers a significant theoretical foundation and practical direction for family education and mental health intervention.
