The present study analyses the influence of parenting styles on secondary school girls' perceptions regarding academic and physical ability. Early adolescence is vital for human development, highlighted by rapid growth and identity formation impacted by parental interactions. Parenting styles covering diverse child-rearing practices are essential in developing a child's social, psychological, and educational development. This study analyses the link between parenting styles and kids' academic achievement, and general well-being. Using a purposeful random sample of 150 girls from different secondary schools, data were obtained using questionnaires measuring parenting methods and academic performance. Statistical evaluations, including correlation and Chi-square tests, indicated substantial connections between particular parenting styles and children's academic and physical education results. The results underline the significance of parental participation in building a supportive atmosphere that enriches kids' educational experiences and encourages a healthy, active lifestyle. The study's conclusions underscore the need for personalized parental education programs to enhance parenting habits and student outcomes in physical education and academics.
