The present study examines the relationships between parental beliefs relating to development and education, parenting practices, and the intellectual and academic performances of children. Data were collected for 128 families with a child in the second or third year of primary school. Investigations of the factors affecting the children's performances were carried out using two models that combined the different study variables. Compliance between the data and the theoretical models was tested by path analysis, using LISREL software. The results show a good fit between the data and the models and partly confirm the hypothesis that family educational practices are intermediary variables between parenting beliefs and a child's intellectual and academic performances. Résumé Cet article présente une recherche qui a porté sur 128 familles et leur enfant scolarisé en C.E.1 et C.E.2 (deuxième et troisième année de l'enseignement primaire). L'étude a pour objectif d'examiner les relations entre les croyances parentales relatives au développement et à l'éducation, les pratiques éducatives familiales et les performances intellectuelles et scolaires de l'enfant. Deux modèles explicatifs des performances des enfants ont été construits mettant en relation les différentes variables de l'étude. La conformité des données aux modèles théoriques a été testée par des analyses en pistes causales effectuées à l'aide du logiciel LISREL. Les résultats montrent, d'une part l'adéquation des données aux modèles, et d'autre part, confirment partiellement l'hypothèse selon laquelle les pratiques éducatives familiales sont des variables intermédiaires entre les croyances parentales et les performances intellectuelles et scolaires de l'enfant.
