Internationally, a great number of researchers have pointed out the significance of school–family relationship in the process of children’s transition to primary schools. However, only recently has it been a subject of research in Greece. The purpose of this particular research, which has a sample of 1602 pre-primary and primary school teachers, is to investigate teachers’ viewpoints on the role of parents in the process of their children’s transition to primary school. Data has been collected through the use of questionnaires. Statistical analysis has shown that the overwhelming majority of teachers consider cooperation with parents as necessary. They indicate that the most important factors for successful transition are parents’ level of trust in teachers, their views on schools and learning, and their support for the new situation their child experiences. As far as the most appropriate practices are concerned, almost all teachers mention updating parents at the beginning of the school year, while many suggest that parents and children visit primary schools and that common meetings of both kindergarten and primary school teachers with parents take place before school begins. It therefore seems that teachers acknowledge the role of parents in the process of transition and suggest appropriate practices for their participation.

There are many factors that influence children's eating, and the role of parents is outstanding. During our research, we studied children's eating behaviour and were also interested in parents' attitudes towards their children's eating behaviour. In the course of our investigation, we used a part of the already validated questionnaire, DEBQ. Our sample was made up of primary school children and their parents. A total of 172 children and their parents completed the questionnaire. The results show that parents consider the child's nutritional characteristics differently than the child itself. We found that parents overestimate their children's self-control about delicious food.
