청소년자녀와 어머니를 위한 세대간 이해증진 프로그램 개발 및 실시

Abstract

The relationship between adolescent children and parents has a profound effect on not only the adolescents development into healthy adults but also the psychological welfare of the parent. A program focused to improve adolescents relationship with parents has not been developed until now. To achieve the educational goals enhancing mutual understanding, it is more effective to educate both the parents and adolescent children. Thus, this study developed and carried out a program in which adolescent children and mothers, being fully in charge of raising children, participated.The study analyzed the program effects after implementing on 6 pairs of adolescent children and mothers. The results are as follows: 1) adolescent children and mothers placed high values on the fact that they can understand each other well, 2) both parties accepted each other by recognizing the inevitability of the generation gap, and 3) the program gave them a chance to admit that they should try to communicate openly.Most of all, adolescent children could find self-confidence while mothers could collect valuable data essential to raise children and build a new mother?s role model adapting to social changes.주제어(Key Words): 프로그램(Program), 프로그램 요구도(Need for the Program)
