Parent-Child Conflict Resolution Strategies and Approaches Regarding Adolescents’ Electronic Device Use

Abstract

Excessive use of electronic devices among adolescents has become a major source of conflict in contemporary families. Based on an analysis of the specific manifestations and underlying causes of parent-child conflict, this paper proposes a multi-dimensional solution that focuses on family communication, the formulation of usage rules, psychological intervention, and social support. The study shows that establishing clear time boundaries for device use, conducting non-judgmental dialogues, implementing positive reinforcement strategies, and seeking professional psychological counseling support can significantly improve the quality of family relationships and reduce the frequency of conflicts. This paper emphasizes the importance of parents improving their own digital literacy and serving as role models, as well as the supportive role of schools and communities in resolving such conflicts.
