Abstract

The academic success and behaviour of students are influenced by a combination of factors, with healthy nutrition and parental care playing critical roles. A well-balanced diet is essential for cognitive function, emotional stability, and overall physical health, while parental involvement ensures a supportive learning environment. This paper examines the influence of these two factors on students' academic performance and discipline. By reviewing current literature and studies, it becomes clear that proper nutrition enhances concentration, memory, and cognitive abilities, while active parental care contributes to motivation, goal setting, and behaviour management. The findings underscore the importance of collaboration between schools, parents, and the wider community to ensure that students have access to proper nutrition and family support, which collectively contribute to academic excellence and good discipline.
