This study aimed to investigate the moderating effect of mothers' educational levels on the relationship between resilience and stress among adolescents. Adolescents face various challenges during the age transition period. Mothers are the primary support providers who play a pivotal role in aiding children throughout this phase. This study investigated the moderating role of mothers' educational levels concerning resilience and stress levels among adolescents. Participants were randomly selected from secondary and higher secondary educational institutions to investigate this phenomenon and differences in resilience across different age groups. The results indicate that mothers' educational levels significantly reduce stress levels and enhance resilience among school children, enabling them to navigate the challenges associated with the transition period more effectively. A notable differentiation in resilience levels between different age groups was observed. This study concentrated on adolescents aged 15 to 18 and investigated how parental education influences puberty-related problems. The investigation restricted itself to mothers with intermediate and graduate credentials; future research comparing maternal education levels might provide more detailed insights.
