The role of parental support in their children's adolescent romantic relationships

Uloga roditelja u adolescentskim romantičnim vezama vidljiva je od najranije dobi djeteta. Roditelji započinju svoju ulogu kroz razvoj privrženosti koji uvelike oblikuje adolescentsku romantičnu vezu. Važnu ulogu imaju i ostala roditeljska obilježja poput zaposlenosti roditelja, primijenjenog odgojnog stila te korištenih strategija rješavanja sukoba među roditeljima. Naime, partnerski odnos roditelja je prvi bliski i romantični odnos koji dijete promatra te iz kojeg uči i prenosi obrasce ponašanja i postupanja u vlastiti bliski, romantični odnos. Od iznimne je važnosti i odnos koji roditelji razvijaju s djetetom tijekom njegova odrastanja, osobito u vrijeme adolescencije, a o kojem ovise ponašanja adolescenta te oblikovanje odnosa u njihovim romantičnim vezama. Roditeljska je uloga vidljiva i u stvaranju stavova prema romantičnim vezama i bliskim odnosima, kao i u načinima rješavanja sukoba u adolescentskim romantičnim vezama.The role of parents in adolescent romantic relationships is present from the earliest age of the child. Parents begin their role through the development of an attachment that greatly shapes an adolescent romantic relationship. Other parental characteristics, such as parents' employment, applied parenting style and used conflict resolution strategies among parents, also play an important role. Namely, the parental partnership is the first close and romantic relationship that the child observes and from which he learns and transmits patterns of behavior and actions into it own close, romantic relationship. The relationship between parents and adolescents is also extremely important, on which the adolescent's behavior depends and the creation of its romantic relationship. The role of parents is also visible in creating attitudes towards romantic relationships and close relationships, as well as in ways of resolving conflicts in adolescent romantic relationships
