“…The focus on parenting styles is narrowed further to a consideration of maternal feeding practices in some areas of the literature (Kroller & Warschburger, 2008); here, the underlying assumption is that eating is a gendered practice and that women are the primary caregivers in this domain. Again, questionnaires prevail as the main research method, with scale items such as ''do you allow your child to eat between meals?''…”

“…These practices are therefore considered risk factors for overeating and overweight (Ventura & Birch, 2008), though this has not always been supported in research (Carper et al, 2000, see Fig. 3;Farrow & Blisset, 2008;Krö ller & Warschburger, 2008;Van Strien & Bazelier, 2007). To better understand whether the parental food controlling practices pressure and restriction to eat are obesity preventing or obesity promoting, this study examined whether these parenting practices are related to other (food or non-food) areas that are generally regarded as obesogenic or leptogenic.…”

Obesity has a substantial genetic component, but its increasing prevalence, also in young children, in a relatively short time must be attributed to environmental and psychological factors, possibly in interaction with metabolic and genetic susceptibilities. The present environment has been designated as obesogenic (Swinburn, Egger, & Raza, 1999), defined as ''the sum of influences that the surroundings, opportunities, or conditions of life have on promoting obesity in individuals or populations''. The opposite of an obesogenic environment is the ''leptogenic'' environment (leptos is Greek for thin). In such an environment, healthy food choices are promoted and physical activity is encouraged (Swinburn et al., 1999).Also the home food environment can be obesogenic or leptogenic. Home food environment may even be one of the most influential environments for the development of eating patterns and obesity in children (Rosenkranz & Dzewaltowski, 2008). At its micro-level, parents have an important controlling role, for example by providing the emotional context of the parent-child relationship, or whether they are permissive or firm. This may result in permissive (not firm), authoritarian (firm but not warm), or authoritative (firm and warm) parenting styles (Baumrind, 1971). Parents may also exercise control within more specific domains, for example food intake, by exercising pressure or restriction to eat. Both food controlling practices have been characterized as authoritarian, because the attempts to control the child's eating are associated with little regard for the child's own choices and preferences (Patrick, Nicklas, Hughes, & Morales, 2005). An (unintended) side effect of these parental food controlling practices may be that a child's good ability to use its own hunger and satiety cues to initiate and terminate eating is diminished (Carper, Fisher, & Birch, 2000). These practices are therefore considered risk factors for overeating and overweight (Ventura & Birch, 2008), though this has not always been supported in research (Carper et al., 2000, see Fig. 3;Farrow & Blisset, ...

“…In some studies, it was found that the parental feeding style did not show difference according to the number of children (2,9). In this study, it was found that the mothers with a single child had lower mean scores for the subdimension of controlled feeding with tolerance compared to the mothers who had more than one children.…”

“…Especially in the preschool period, parents are responsible of choosing foods for their children and they try to develop adequate and balanced nutritional behavior by using different feeding methods (2). Parental feeding style is affected by many factors including the perception of the child's weight by the parents (3), the child's weight (2)(3)(4)(5)(6), gender (7), the weight of the parents (8,9) and the economical and education status of the parents (2,10).…”

Aim: This study was performed to determine the nutritional style in parents who had children aged between 3 and 6 years and the effective factors. Material and Methods:The sample number of this descriptive study was calculated with the sample formula for unknown population and the parents of 300 children aged between 3 and 6 years who attended a nursery school in the province of İzmir constituted the sample. The sample was reached in two periods. "The Sociodemographic Data Form" and "the Parent Nutritional Style Scale" were used as data collection tools. Written approval was obtained from the scientific ethics committee of the Ege University, Faculty of Nursery (B.30.2.EGE.0.82.00.00/29-288). The heights and weights of the children were measured by the investigators with certain measurement tools. The body mass index standard deviation score (BMI SDS) was calculated for each child. The children whose body mass index standard deviations were between +2 and -2 standard deviation were considered to have normal weight. The Auxology program was used to obtain these data. The body mass indexes of the parents were calculated according to the height and weight values stated by themselves. In analyses of the data, student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparison of two groups. Variance analysis and Kruskal-Wallis variance were used for multiple comparisons; Bonferrroni corrected Mann-Whitney U test and Shefee test were used for advanced analysis. Results: It was found that the variables including the age, education level, number of children, working status of the mothers and the perception of the child's weight by the mother affected the nutritional style of the parents. The mean "emotional" and "instrumental" nutrition subdimension scores of the mothers who were young, who had an education of primary school and who were housewifes, the mean "encouraging nutrition" subdimension scores of the mothers who had small for gestational age babies and the mean "emotional" nutrition subdimension scores of the mothers who perceived their babies' weights as lower than normal were found to be higher (p<0.05). No significant difference was found in the nutritional style in relation with the child's BMI SDS and the mother's own BMI. Conclusions: The nutritional styles of parents are affected by some sociodemographic and anthropometric properties, but the relation with the child's weight should be demonstrated by observational studies.
