The Purpose of this study is to help Fathers who have communication difficulty with their adolescents.
Adolescents want to be more independent from their parents, but this does not mean that they do not want to talk to their parents anymore.
They still need their mother and father listening to them. Most of fathers, however, are too busy to have a conversation with their teens. Although they get a chance to talk, They hardly know how to communicate with their adolescent boys and girls.
One survey shows that fathers aspire to have some training for fathering, but above all things, they request a communication training program with their teens.
Adolescents in Korea are very busy as much as fathers in Korea. They are forced to spend most of their time to study.
So, It is very important to spare a precious time to talk for better relationship between father and teens. At the same time Fathers have to know how communicate effectively and make the most of the time. So I made a ten-weeks program which contains understanding father themselves and adolescents, finding out communication problems, learning how to communicate, listen and express emotion better. This program also provides more practical tasks to get closer to adolescents.
This study has some limitation because it doesn't apply to the real situation yet. So, the real effect of this program is not presented. It is, however, is believed this program will be very helpful to fathers improving their communication skill and also being proud of themselves as a father.
