Abstract

This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of parenting education for adolescent parents and its potential impact on their children’s health and development. Only nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Results indicated that children of adolescent parents who received parenting education had better outcomes in academic achievement, emotional regulation, secure attachment styles, expressive language, and lower hospitalizations. Investing in parenting education may improve outcomes for children.
