The nature of adolescent-parent relationships has been a topic of enduring concern in developmental science. In this article, we review theory and current research on several central topics. First, we define adolescence as a developmental period and briefly discuss current theoretical and analytical approaches. Then, we consider adolescent-parent relationship quality, including the social media addiction and the adolescent-parent relationship.

The second approach focuses on the in raising adolescents and to the relationships between adolescents and the adults who care for them.
