Christian Education

Relationship between Parents and Teenage Children

Abstract

This article aims to reflect, in light of the Christian Scriptures and the contributions of Pedagogy and Psychology, on how Christian Education influences family dynamics and strengthens the bonds between parents and children. It seeks to understand how living faith can contribute to a healthy relationship, based on love, mutual respect, and spiritual responsibility. In addition, it analyzes the relationship between parents and children from birth, and how this contributes to the formation of the individual so that, in adolescence, they may understand the reasons for the various transformations that will occur in their lives. This also provides parents with peace and tranquility to face together this particularly difficult phase of human life. This is a qualitative, bibliographic study. The data reveal that this effective relationship only happens if parents are aware of their importance in the psychosocial and spiritual development of their children, as well as the role of each family member, which must be addressed and cultivated within the home. This relationship should be grounded in the principles and values assimilated and practiced by certain families, whether Christian or not. In the case of the Christian family, it must be guided by the Scriptures, which serve as a manual for the practice of faith, as well as social and spiritual values.
