Abstract

Parents are children's first teachers. Excellent parents may become role models for their adolescent children because of their own excellence, but they may also put pressure on their adolescent children because of their excellence. This study used a questionnaire survey to survey a sample of 150 adolescents to explore the impact of excellent parents on their adolescent children. The research results show that the respondents generally recognize that their parents are hard-working, have good grades and are successful in their careers, and that the excellence is truly outstanding, rather than the "fake" excellence that parents boast about. Parents pass on excellence through positive caring education, Encouragement education and action education are the main focus, but at the same time, anxiety will also be mixed with education; truly excellent parents will have a positive impact, including reducing the introversion and stress level of adolescent children, and improving their children's hard work; "fake" excellent parents will have a positive impact It will have a negative impact, significantly increasing adolescents' stress, rebellion, inferiority and rebuttal; parents' positive education methods will have more positive impacts, including allowing children to regard their parents as role models and motivating teenagers to work hard; while parents' negative education methods will Producing more negative effects can easily lead to stress, rebellion, refutation, reduced diligence and low self-esteem in adolescent children. Finally, based on research on the impact of excellent parents on adolescent children, this study provides targeted suggestions on how to create a good parent-child relationship in the future.
