The Relationship Between Parental Supervision and Student Misbehavior at School

Abstract

Parental supervision is a key determinant influencing adolescent behavior, particularly in preventing delinquency within the school environment. This study aims to analyze the relationship between parental monitoring and students’ delinquent tendencies while explaining the mechanisms through which parental roles shape adolescents’ social–emotional development. This research employs a qualitative method using a literature study approach based on accredited journal sources to obtain comprehensive theoretical and empirical insights. The findings indicate that parental supervision significantly contributes to developing students’ discipline, self-control, and emotional stability through behavioral monitoring, supportive communication, and consistent rule-setting. Furthermore, collaboration between parents and schools strengthens the prevention of deviant behavior and fosters a supportive learning environment conducive to healthy adolescent development.
