THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC COUNSELING IN STRENGTHENING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN IN THE MODERN ERA

Abstract

Communication between parents and children plays a crucial role in fostering healthy and harmonious family relationships. However, in today's rapidly evolving world and technology, communication between parents and children faces various challenges. This is because children interact more with digital media than with their parents. This article examines the role of Islamic counseling in strengthening communication between parents and children amidst the dynamics of change, and examines how Islamic principles can be applied in this context. An approach that emphasizes values such as compassion, patience, honesty, and mutual respect has the potential to strengthen parent-child relationships. The research method used is a literature review, employing a qualitative descriptive approach, through analysis of relevant literature such as the Qur'an, Hadith, and Islamic counseling theories. By implementing Islamic counseling, communication between parents and children can be improved not only through words or verbal exchanges, but also through deeper emotional and spiritual understanding. Thus, Islamic counseling serves not only as a means of problem-solving but also as a preventative tool for building healthy and harmonious relationships amidst the increasingly rapid development of the times.
