“…For example, a teen exhibiting low health motivation and unhealthy eating habits may perceive they receive more challenging messages and therefore report more negative comments [39]. Klein et al (2017) reported that paternal comments for their all-female cohort (m = 19.87, +/− 1.64), significantly predicted drive for thinness in women 20 years later [40]. Ackard et al (2006) also found that 52.1% of girls (48.6% boys) would talk to their mother "quite a bit" or "very much" more than their father and "the majority reported they could not talk to their father (quite a bit/very much: 24.6% girls, 38% boys)".…”

“…Without asking the parents of the participants included in this study, we will not know if their comments were intended as positive or negative. However, the results offer valuable insight to how maternal and paternal comments are perceived by adolescents within the context that, without an understanding of how words are intended in communication and parent-adolescent connectedness, even a low level of parent teasing can be problematic [12,18,19,32,39,40,49].…”

Prevalence of Parental Comments on Weight/Shape/Eating amongst Sons and Daughters in an Adolescent Sample

et al. 2021

Reports suggest that 12–76% of adolescents have experienced parental comments regarding their weight/shape and/or eating behaviours. Parents may engage in conversations about weight/shape and eating out of concern, even without any ill intent; however, the associations of these comments with subsequent problematic psychosocial and eating behaviours are evidenced. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the content and prevalence of such comments is needed. To date, adolescent-reported prevalence estimates have not included differentiation between mother or father and sons or daughters, nor have they considered eating-focussed comments. This study considered the prevalence of positive and negative parental commentary regarding weight/shape and eating with a focus on parental origin. A total of 2287 Australian male and female adolescents participated via a self-report survey. Adolescents reported frequent positive comments on weight/shape and on eating, most commonly maternal positive comments on weight/shape (78%; 95% CI 77–80). Daughters reported significantly more maternal comments on weight/shape (positive and negative) as well as more negative eating comments from mothers than did sons. Sons reported significantly more negative weight/shape comments from fathers than did daughters. Some negative comments increased significantly with age. These findings support a notable prevalence of reported parental weight/shape and eating comments directed at their offspring, particularly from mothers.

“…Cross-sectional research supports this theory, finding positive associations between maternal dieting habits and children’s dieting practices [ 35 , 36 ]. Longitudinal research corroborates these findings, revealing maternal dieting to be a significant predictor of child drive for thinness, in a 20 year follow up study [ 37 ], hence, the need to understand more about maternal disordered eating behaviors and food parenting practices. This is an important and novel finding as the literature is sparse on the relationship between food literacy and coercive feeding, yet our results point to a need to review the importance placed on developing food literacy as a preventive intervention.…”

Parents have the most significant influence on the development of young children’s eating patterns. Understanding what parental factors best predict specific negative feeding practices is important for designing preventive interventions. We examined the relationship between parents’ use of coercive food parenting practices (pressure to eat and restriction) and parents’ disordered eating, food literacy, Body Mass Index (BMI) and socio-economic status (SES). Adult mothers, with a mean age of 33 years, at least one child aged between 6 months and 5 years and living in Australia (n = 819) completed an online questionnaire. Regression models were used to examine predictors of pressure to eat and restriction, respectively. Although the amount of variance accounted for by the models was small, maternal eating disorder symptoms were found to be the most important predictor of coercive food parenting practices. This finding has implications for early nutrition education, which has traditionally focused heavily on nutrition literacy. Parental disordered eating may be a more important preventive target and thus including behavioral strategies for positive feeding practices may better assist mothers in promoting positive eating habits with their children, rather than traditional approaches that aim to increase nutrition literacy.

“…Evidências da literatura apontam a mãe como maior modelo de prática de dietas, de insatisfação com o próprio peso/corpo, que pode determinar um maior desejo das filhas pela busca da magreza 25,26 . Cooley et al 27 e Bauer et al 28 apontam que dois mecanismos poderiam explicar o efeito dessas práticas: um em que a mãe encorajaria de forma direta a filha a mudar o peso ou forma e o outro em que a mãe de forma indireta encoraja por meio de seus comentários sobre seu próprio peso e seu comportamento de fazer dieta.…”

Apesar dos autores apontarem esses mecanismos em conjunto como determinantes de maior insatisfação corporal nas filhas, estudos indicam que o incentivo a fazer dieta tem mais efeito no desejo por emagrecer nas filhas do que os comentários sobre o próprio peso da mãe 25,26 .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar as práticas parentais de peso e alimentação e sua relação com a insatisfação da imagem corporal em adolescentes. Métodos As análises referem-se aos dados de base de um ensaio clínico randomizado previamente realizado com 270 adolescentes do sexo feminino de escolas públicas de São Paulo que participaram do Programa New Moves Brasil durante os anos de 2014 e 2015. Dados antropométricos, nível econômico, insatisfação com a imagem corporal, autoestima e práticas parentais sobre a ótica das adolescentes quanto à alimentação e corpo foram coletados. Um modelo de regressão logística múltipla foi conduzido para avaliar a influência das variáveis sobre a insatisfação com a imagem corporal das adolescentes. Resultados Adolescentes que estavam acima do peso tinham média/baixa autoestima, sofriam provocações relativas ao peso e faziam menos refeições em família tiveram associação com a insatisfação com a imagem corporal. Na análise de regressão, somente o comentário sobre o peso da filha foi considerado como um fator de risco, e esse deixa de existir quando há o convívio de ambos os pais com as filhas. Em relação à influência do pai, no modelo de convivência familiar, ele pode ser tanto um modelo positivo, na influência de escolhas saudáveis, quanto negativo, ao fazer provocações sobre peso e o incentivar fazer dietas. Conclusões Práticas parentais relacionadas ao peso e alimentação são consideradas de risco para o desenvolvimento de uma insatisfação com a imagem corporal e consequente predisposição a problemas relacionados ao peso.
