This study aims to examine the impact of parental attitudes on school achievement and obesity among 3rd and 4th-grade primary school students. The sample consisted of 541 students—312 girls and 229 boys—aged between 8 and 12 years, enrolled in 3rd and 4th grades at primary schools in the Selçuklu, Karatay, and Meram districts of Konya. To assess the students' obesity status, height and weight measurements were taken, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Parental attitudes were analyzed across four sub-dimensions: democratic, protective, authoritarian, and permissive. The data were analyzed by Chi-square, Independent sample T-test, One-way Anova, Person Correlation, and Multiple regression analysis. As a result of the study, it was observed that overprotective parental attitudes decreased as parental education increased. In addition, it is seen that the risk of obesity in children whose fathers are obese increases significantly. As the father's weight increases, the likelihood of the child being obese also increases. As the democratic attitude scores of the parents increase, their perceptions of their children's success status increase, and as the authoritarian and permissive attitude scores increase, their perceptions of their children's success status decrease. A significant relationship was found between authoritarian attitude and obesity, and authoritarian attitude was found to be higher in families of obese children. As a result of regression analysis, it was found that an authoritarian attitude increased obesity and decreased school success, while a democratic attitude increased school success.
