Abstract
Parents in this modern world have been causing their children more stress and in turn their mental health has been suffering. I wanted to see what can be done to help young adults and parents through this challenge. What I discovered was that a big cause of the increased stress was the parents' high expectations that they put on their kids. I used the library and internet databases to complete my research. I was able to use primary and secondary sources. In these sources I tried to be diverse in my source selections. This helped as I looked for different countries and cultures to see these issues affect their kids. I discovered that if parents put effort into learning about the struggles of the mental health challenges that their children face then they can better help them and stop becoming part of the cause. I believe that if parents make an effort to understand their children, they can lessen the effects that their high expectations have on their children’s mental health.
