Although belonging to different generations in each family inevitably creates a gap between generations, in immigrant families, the difficulty of transitioning from adolescent conflict to the common challenges after migration Interferes and raises tensions between parents and adolescents. The importance of parent-adolescent communication in immigrant families has led to much research focusing on large-scale immigrant groups, but research on the challenges of parent-adolescent communication has been neglected. Aims: Parent-adolescent communication challenges in Iranian Muslim families residing in the United States were viewed as parental. Method: The research method was qualitative with phenomenological method. Statistical population consisted of Iranian Muslim families residing in the USA. Five parents were selected by snowball sampling method. The research tool was semi-structured in-depth interview. Data analysis was performed using the seven-stage method of Colaizzi.

Conclusions: Cultural differences, temporal and spatial generation gap, and insufficient familiarity of immigrant parents with school environment and peer group of children can jeopardize immigrant family functioning and create communication difficulties between parents and adolescents.
