6 Like no other? 195 Fifth, although the study examined five key parenting practices and both positive and negative aspects of adolescents’ affect, it may have overlooked other practices or wellbeing indicators that are also relevant in families’ everyday life. Future research might also want to include other practices, such as overprotection (Van Petegem et al., 2022), and other adolescent well-being indicators, such as loneliness (Soenens et al., 2017), to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how and why parent-adolescent dynamics are (dis)similar across families and to adequately inform future practice. Conclusion In almost every family, adolescent-perceived parenting practices were intertwined with the adolescent's affective well-being in everyday life. However, the findings revealed no evidence of homogeneity in the nature of these daily parent-adolescent dynamics, either at the sample or subgroup level. Instead, daily parent-adolescent dynamics appeared idiosyncratic: Which parenting practices were intertwined with the adolescent’s affective well-being, and how, was specific to the family. Although future studies with longer time series per family and larger samples are needed to replicate the idiosyncratic findings demonstrated here, the current results suggest that future translational efforts may benefit from tailoring interventions to the specific dynamics of the family.
