Insufficient physical activity (PA) and increased screen media use (SMU) can have detrimental effects on children's health. Parental self-efficacy (PSE) can act as an important predictor for a healthy upbringing. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of PSE on children's PA and SMU. Additionally, a moderating effect of PSE on the intervention effect of the health promotion program “Join the Healthy Boat” was examined. Using a prospective randomized controlled trial, 558 kindergarten children (3.6 years [ SD  = 0.6]) were examined. Data was collected using parental self-report. A significant influence of PSE on children's PA ( B  = 0.33,  p  = 0.025) and children's SMU ( B  = 0.42,  p  = 0.006) was found. The moderating effect of PSE on the intervention effect was neither significantly related to children's PA ( p  = 0.360) nor to children's SMU ( p  = 0.531). This confirms the importance of PSE on children's health development. Despite the lack of a moderating effect, interventions should also promote healthy activity behaviors and self-efficacy for parents in order to engage children in a healthy lifestyle.
