“…It is also possible that there are no substantive differences between EAH relationships for different parent feeding practices or different parenting styles (please see regression coefficients and confidence intervals in Tables 3 and 4). Future studies should examine other unmeasured variables that may potentially contribute to variance in this study, such as child temperament (Anzman & Birch, 2009; C. Collins, Duncanson, & Burrows, 2014), adrenocortical regulation (Francis, Granger, & Susman, 2013), neurobiological activation of reward pathways (Born, et al, 2010), and genetics (Fisher, Cai, et al, 2007; Provencher, et al, 2005).…”

Parental control and overconsumption of snack foods in overweight and obese children

The associations between snack food consumption, parent feeding practices and general parenting in overweight in obese children are largely unknown. Therefore, we examined these relationships in 117 treatment-seeking overweight and obese children (10.40 ± 1.35 years; 53% female; 52% Caucasian; BMI-z: 2.06 ± 0.39). Children consumed a dinner meal, completed an Eating in the Absence of Hunger (EAH) free access paradigm (total EAH intake=EAH%-total; sweet food intake=EAH%-sweet), and completed the Child Report of Parent Behavior Inventory. Parents completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire. Child EAH%-total and EAH%-sweet were positively associated with dinner consumption (p’s<.01). Girls had significantly higher EAH%-total compared to boys (p<.05). In separate models, higher EAH%-total was associated with greater use of maternal psychological control (p<.05) and EAH%-sweet was positively associated with parent monitoring (p<.05). In analyses examining factors associated with the consumption of specific foods, EAH snack food, parent restriction, pressure to eat, monitoring, and maternal psychological control were positively correlated with intake of Hershey’s® chocolate bars (p’s<.05). In summary, parental monitoring is associated with child sweet snack food intake and maternal psychological control is associated with child total snack food consumption. Future research should evaluate the complex relationship between child eating and parenting, especially with regard to subgroups of foods.

“…Research has suggested that parental control is not usually isolated to the feeding environment, but instead typically reflects a wider style of parenting (see Collins, Duncanson & Burrows, 2014, for a review). For example, an authoritarian parenting style is characterised by high demand and control over their child, and this type of parenting style has been linked with excessive levels of pressure and restriction over their child in the feeding domain (e.g., Hughes, Power, Fisher, Mueller & Nicklas, 2005).…”

Perceptions of parental pressure to eat and eating behaviours in preadolescents: The mediating role of anxiety

2014

Previous research suggests that parental controlling feeding practices are associated with children's over-eating and under-eating behaviours. However, there is limited research addressing the link between children's mental health symptoms (specifically anxiety and depression) and their reports of eating behaviours, despite knowledge that these psychopathologies often co-exist. The current study aimed to identify the relationships between preadolescents' perceptions of their parents' feeding practices with reports of their own anxiety, depression and eating behaviours. Three hundred and fifty six children (mean The results suggest that greater anxiety in preadolescents may explain why children who perceive greater pressure to eat by their parents are more likely to exhibit maladaptive eating behaviours.

“…Theoretical models including the Ecological Model (Bronfenbrenner, 2009) posit the role of family members in individuals’ dietary intake/behaviors; however, most research has focused on how family and parental factors influence children’s outcomes (Collins, et al, 2014; Mazarello Paes, et al, 2015; Pinquart, 2014). For example, even though a well-established literature suggests that children regularly influence their parents’ food-purchasing behaviors (Atkin, 1978; Gaumer & Arnone, 2009; Turner, et al, 2006; Wingert, et al, 2014), few studies have examined how child-related factors impact their parents’ health practices and outcomes (Fisher, 2006).…”

Rationale Research shows that acculturation is important to Latinas’ dietary intake and related behaviors. Although evidence suggests children may also play a role, it remains unclear whether children’s acculturation is related to mothers’ dietary intake/behaviors. Objectives We examined the relationship between Latino children’s acculturation and mothers’ dietary intake/behaviors. We also examined the mother-child acculturation gap to identify dyad characteristics associated with mothers’ diet. Methods Baseline surveys were collected in 2010 from 314 Latino mother-child (7 to 13 years old) dyads of Mexican-origin enrolled in a family-based dietary intervention in Southern California, USA. Mother’s daily intake of fruits, vegetables, and sugary beverages, percent of calories from fat, weekly away-from-home eating, and percent of weekly grocery dollars spent on fruits and vegetables were assessed via self-report. Mothers’ and children’s bidimensional acculturation were examined using acculturation groups (e.g., assimilated, bicultural) derived from Hispanic and non-Hispanic dimensions of language. We also assessed the acculturation gap between mothers and children with the a) difference in acculturation between mothers’ and children’s continuous acculturation scores and b) mother-child acculturation gap typologies (e.g., traditional mothers of assimilated children). Results Findings show that having an assimilated versus a bicultural child was negatively associated with mothers’ vegetable intake and positively associated with mothers’ sugary beverage intake, percent of calories from fat, and frequency of away-from-home eating, regardless of mothers’ acculturation. Traditional mothers of assimilated children reported more sugary beverage intake, calories from fat, and more frequent away-from-home eating than traditional mothers of bicultural children. Conclusion Results suggest that children’s acculturation is associated with their mothers’ dietary intake/behaviors and traditional mothers of assimilated children require more attention in future research.
