Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period in human development, marked by identity formation, emotional sensitivity and heightened self-awareness. During this phase, parenting styles and the family environment play pivotal roles in shaping adolescents’ self-esteem, a key psychological construct that influences their academic, social and emotional well-being.

A descriptive survey research design of correlational type was adopted, and with a multistage sampling technique, data was collected from 137 senior school students from the model schools of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Federal College of Education, Osiele and Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro using structured questionnaires.
