Abstract

This study aims to analyze and explore in depth how a father’s interpersonal communication helps restore his daughter’s self-esteem after she fails to gain admission to her dream college. This study employs a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. The study seeks to explain how the quality of communication within the family serves as a medium for restoring a daughter’s self-esteem following academic failure. In this study, the data collection procedure was designed in a planned manner to ensure that the information obtained was purely derived from the experiences of the subjects (children and fathers) and was free from the researcher's personal bias or assumptions.The data analysis in this study used a phenomenological approach to uncover the essence of the informants' experiences. The study’s findings, daughters perceive their fathers’ role in interpersonal communication as a form of emotional validation and a source of security that is crucial for rebuilding their self-confidence. This restoration of self-esteem is largely determined by the father’s ability to initiate openness without the pressure of authority.
