<![CDATA[: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage requiring appropriate parental guidance and strong cooperation between families and schools. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen parents’ capacity to implement positive parenting practices and improve family–school communication in supporting adolescent development. The program was conducted at SMA NU 1 Bondowoso through a participatory, school-based approach involving parents, students, and teachers. Activities consisted of parenting education, interactive discussions, reflective sessions, and follow-up communication with homeroom teachers. The program addressed several adolescent-related issues, including discipline, learning motivation, concentration, responsibility, peer influence, bullying, absenteeism, and gadget and social media use. Qualitative observations and participant discussions indicated increased parental awareness of democratic parenting, emotional support, consistent guidance, and constructive communication. The program also encouraged stronger communication between parents and teachers regarding students’ learning and behavioral development. The findings suggest that positive parenting education can strengthen parental capacity and support family–school engagement. However, the results are qualitative and do not establish statistical or causal effects. Future programs should incorporate systematic evaluation and longitudinal follow-up.]]>
