<![CDATA[This study aims to describe interpersonal communication between parents and punk children in instilling socio-religious values in Panti District, Pasaman Regency. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency and the involvement of several adolescents in punk communities influenced by peer environment, family conditions, and the lack of effective communication between parents and children. This research used a descriptive method with a qualitative approach in the form of a field case study. Data were collected through observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation involving parents, punk children, community members, and religious and traditional leaders. The results showed that parents had attempted to instill socio-religious values through role modeling, habituation, advice, attention, supervision, support, and punishment. However, these efforts had not been fully effective due to obstacles in interpersonal communication within the family, such as lack of openness, weak emotional closeness, the use of harsh tones during communication, and limited parental supervision. These conditions caused some adolescents to feel more comfortable and accepted within punk communities than in their family environment. This study indicates that warm, open, and empathetic interpersonal communication plays an important role in shaping adolescents’ socio-religious values.]]>
