Describe the role of parents' work on adolescents.

What will be an ideal response?


Parents who have poor working conditions are likely to be more irritable at home and to engage in less effective parenting than their counterparts who have better working conditions. Negative working conditions or parents are linked to more behavior problems and lower grades in their adolescents. One study found that when fathers worked more than 60 hours per week, their relationships with their adolescents were more conflicted. Another study showed that mothers' positive mood after work was linked with adolescents' reports of more positive affect, better sleep quality, and longer sleep duration.
