“…Participants were confused as their children went through puberty and questioned their parenting style. This supports the findings of previous studies [12], which suggested that the biggest challenge mothers faced as their children hit adolescence was that their parenting style did not seem effective anymore and that mothers failed to catch up with the pace of changes their children experienced. The participants in this study found it difficult to discipline their children in the same way that they had done before.…”

“…The participants observed and had conversations with other people regarding parenting styles and relationships with their children and learned from them. Previous studies have also demonstrated that the mothers of adolescents attended parenting sessions or discussed their woes with friends who were also mothers [12]. However, the participants in this study were not able to change their interaction strategies simply by lamenting their issues together with people around them.…”

“…They also tried to control their children's smartphone use and gaming, and were often faced with resistance from their children. Previous studies have also suggested that schoolwork and smartphone use are major sources of conflict [12]. Mothers were concerned that the more time their children spent on smartphones and games, the less time they would spend studying, leading to lower grades.…”

This study was conducted to explore Korean mothers' experiences of the development of parent-adolescent relationships. Methods: The participants were 18 Korean parents of adolescents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The main question was, "Could you tell me about your experiences of developing a relationship with your adolescent child?" The data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The central phenomena of the experiences of parent-adolescent relationships among Korean mothers were "trying to reduce my expectations, but not being able to" and "having no idea where to go". The major action/interaction strategies were "putting aside my desires and adapting to my child's needs" and "waiting and seeing at a distance". The consequences included "appreciating myself and my child at the same time". Conclusion: These findings indicate that mothers tried to adapt to their children's needs and to keep their children at a distance. Their efforts were influenced by advice from friends and family members. The findings of this study emphasize specific aspects of how Korean mothers experienced the process of developing respectful relationships with their children.

“…In this study, conflicts related to learning attitude and grades and life habits accounted for more than 60% of all conflicts perceived by parents of adolescents. In a recent qualitative study on Korean mothers with adolescent children, the reason behind mother-child conflicts was mother's involvement in child's studies, use of smartphone, mother's concerns about child's peer relations, and communication, and the study showed that mothers particularly experience anxiety about their adolescent children's studies, career, and future (Park, 2016;Kim et al, 2017), which were similar to our findings. Since adolescence is considered the appropriate timeto choose a career path and prepare for it, parents seem to be more interested in their children's academic performance, and the consequent anxiety induces conflict between them.…”

“…Moreover, as adolescents mature physically and cognitively, they have an increased desire to be independent from their parents; however, compared to such needs, their actual roles in daily living fall short of parents' expectations. This causes parents to become disappointed in their children and to realize that the parenting skills used in the past are no longer effective on their children (Kim et al, 2017).…”

Background: Understanding how parents cognitively and emotionally perceive and respond to parent-child conflicts would provide a basis for targeted and effective parent education programs. The specific aims of this online mixed methods research study were to (1) categorize parents of adolescents based on their level of parental self-efficacy, parent-child communication, parent-child relationships, parent-child conflicts, and parental stress; and (2) explore parent-child conflict situations and parents' perceptions and responses to them in each group. Methods: A total of 103 parents with adolescent children aged 11∼16 years were recruited from five cities in Korea to participate in the study. Participants completed an online questionnaire about parentchild relationships and described a parent-child conflict situation that occurred within the past week and their perceptions and responses to it. We used cluster and content analyses for quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Results: The study revealed two clusters: adequate parent-child relationship (group 1) and inadequate parent-child relationship (group 2). The key variable distinguishing the two groups was parental selfefficacy. Although parents in both groups generally experienced frustration, anger, worry, discouragement, and disappointment in the conflict situations, the two groups differed in their perceptions and responses to these situations. Conclusions: Results suggested that parent education programs should focus on improving parental self-efficacy. Additionally, the programs should provide an opportunity for parents to practice selfreflection, help them understand the link between emotion-thought-behavior based on cognitive model, and thus, effectively manage parent-child conflict situations.
