Illuminating the intricate dynamics of adolescent-parent conflicts over schoolwork, this book provides a vivid and insightful examination of the educational difficulties experienced by contemporary Chinese families.

Drawing on interviews with 63 parents and adolescents, Cao and Tam analyze their real-life disagreements over schoolwork, revealing how both generations understand, reason about, and resolve conflicts. The authors provide a culturally sensitive analysis by exploring how Chinese values and the local education system shape these disputes. Integrating social domain theory and self-determination theory, the book traces the development of adolescent autonomy amid family tensions around schoolwork. Rich with authentic stories, this book paves a way forward for fostering healthier relationships and supporting adolescent growth.

Essential reading for scholars in developmental psychology and family sociology, this volume also provides valuable insights for family therapists, parental educators, and parents seeking to deepen their understanding of effective parenting practices.
