Parent-­‐Child Connectedness, Relationships, and Communication Sample Clauses

Parent-­‐Child Connectedness, Relationships, and Communication. Family dynamics and family relationships can potentially help understand the choices that adolescents make and how parent to child communication can affect those choices. Parents’ education, marital status, sibling composition, parenting styles and other family influences are also contributors. Additionally, residing in disorganized or dangerous neighborhoods, living in a lower socioeconomic status (SES) family, living with a single parent, having older sexually active siblings or pregnant/parenting teenage sisters, and being a victim of sexual abuse are all causes of increased risk for adolescent pregnancy (Miller, Benson, & Galbraith, 2001).

Parent to child communication includes timing of communication, conveyed parental values, communication content and validity of content, frequency and quality of communication, and more. Most recently a common finding across most recent studies suggests that open, positive, and frequent parent to child communication is associated with adolescents not having sexual intercourse, postponing their sexual debut, or having fewer sexual partners (Xxxxxx et al., 2001). As a potentially modifiable protective factor of adolescent substance abuse and sexual risk taking, parent to child communication can also produce gender-specific variations between communication with father or mother.
