Healthy parental habits can encourage positive outcomes, while poor routines and stress often lead to unhealthy weight gain. This study analyzed the impact of parental behaviors on children\u2019s lifestyles and habits, as well as the trend and intensity of the effect of these behaviors on different age groups. Methods: A systematic review of 1504 articles from Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and APA PsycNet (as of 22 July 2024) included studies on parents and children aged 4\u201318 years, focusing on physical activity, sleep, screen time, nutrition, and mental health. Twenty-six studies were analyzed, including 19 cross-sectional and 7 longitudinal studies. The outcomes included physical activity, sedentary behaviors, eating and sleeping habits, mental health, and BMI. Bias was assessed using JBI tools according to the GRADE framework and Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment. Results: The studies involved 89,545 youths and 13,856 parents. The key findings revealed associations between parental physical activity, sleep, dietary habits, mental health, screen time, and their children\u2019s BMIs. Parenting styles significantly influence children\u2019s behaviors. This review highlights the crucial influence of parenting styles and behaviors on children\u2019s physical activity, diet, sleep, and mental health, emphasizing the link between family dynamics and childhood obesity. The findings stress the importance of targeting parental habits in interventions focused on healthy routines and stress management. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine causality, while research involving diverse populations is essential to enhance the applicability of these findings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children12020203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]],"date-time":"2025-02-10T05:53:22Z","timestamp":1739166802000},"page":"203","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The Impact of Parental Behaviors on Children\u2019s Lifestyle, Dietary Habits, Screen Time, Sleep Patterns, Mental Health, and BMI: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6385-317X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e1tia","family":"Maia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Diogo","family":"Braz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8667-4871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helder Miguel","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education, Communication and Sports, Polytechnic Institute of Guarda, 6300-559 Guarda, Portugal"},{"name":"Sport Physical Activity and Health Research & INnovationCenTer (SPRINT), 6300-559 Guarda, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8681-0642","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo","family":"Sarmento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"University of Coimbra, Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Human Performance (CIPER-UC), 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7169-8034","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aristides M.","family":"Machado-Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"University of Coimbra, Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Human Performance (CIPER-UC), 3040-248 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Centre for Anthropology and Health, University of Coimbra, 3000-456 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1186\/1479-5868-5-15","article-title":"Does parenting affect children\u2019s eating and weight status?","volume":"5","author":"Ventura","year":"2008","journal-title":"Int.
