520			_a The study was conducted on “Impact of parenting practices on mental health and nutritional status of high school children: Correlates” at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2023-2024. The sample comprised of 240 high school children of 13-15 years age group studying in 8th, 9th and 10th standards drawn from four high schools (two each from urban and rural area) of Dharwad taluk of Karnataka and Boko taluk of Assam. Mental health, nutritional status, parenting practice and socio-economic status were assessed by using the tools such as Goodman’s strengths and difficulties questionnaire, 24 hour dietary recall method, Robinson’s parenting practices questionnaire and Aggarwal’s socio-economic status scale respectively. Survey research design, differential research design and correlational research design were employed. Association, correlation and multiple regression were used for data analysis. Results revealed that, majority of urban (91.67%) and rural (73.33%) children experienced authoritative parenting practice in Dharwad region and similarly most of urban (86.67%) and rural children (91.67%) of Boko reported authoritative parenting practice. Majority of urban and rural children had close to average mental health and adequate nutritional status. Parenting practices had significant impact on mental health and nutritional status among children of both the regions. Children who were second born, male, aged 13 years had better mental health while second born, male children had adequate nutritional status. However, academic performance, father’s age, parent’s education, father’s occupation and socio-economic status were found to be significantly influencing mental health of children. Nutritional status was significantly influenced by ordinal position, mother’s education, mother’s occupation and socio-economic status. So, there is a need to educate parents to use positive and effective parenting practices which involves warmth and support, positive reinforcement, open communication, clear expectation and consistent rules.
