“…35 It is unknown whether the intervention would have had a similar effect on younger children, who may not have as much access to convenience foods in the morning, or older children, who may be better able to intentionally limit their morning intake to the breakfast meal provided at school. 36 Studentlevel attrition in the study was high although similar to previous school-based trials in low-income school districts, 28,37 and virtually all (99%) of attrition was a result of school transfer and not differential by student-level characteristics, minimizing concerns over selection bias. Although there was no schoollevel attrition, which protects against large reductions in statistical power to identify intervention effects, the study did not have statistical power to detect as small of effect sizes as anticipated.…”

IMPORTANCE Serving breakfast in the classroom is promoted to increase participation in the federal School Breakfast Program. However, little is known about the effect of breakfast in the classroom on children's weight status. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a breakfast in the classroom initiative, which combined breakfast in the classroom with breakfast-specific nutrition education, on overweight and obesity among urban children in low-income communities. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A cluster-randomized clinical trial among 1362 fourththrough sixth-grade students from low-income urban communities across 2.5 years. Sixteen kindergarten through eighth grade Philadelphia public schools with universal breakfast participated.

“…Under the category of nonhomeostatic aspects of food intake, Berthoud and Gearhardt include rewards and pleasure from eating, cognitive factors associated with food and eating, emotional factors, and environmental cues. These questions implicate matters such as access to highly palatable and energy‐dense foods as well as the development of disinhibited eating (for example, eating in the absence of hunger and emotional eating) and the possible role of parent practices and the family environment . Evidence that children low on temperamental soothability are more likely to increase emotional overeating during middle childhood suggests a role for temperament in self‐regulation difficulties.…”

Summary Childhood obesity has reached alarming proportions in many countries. There is consensus that both biological (especially genetic) and environmental (including psychosocial) factors contribute to weight gain and obesity in childhood. Research has identified extensive risk or predictive factors for childhood obesity from both of these domains. There is less consensus about the developmental processes or pathways showing how these risk factors lead to overweigh/obesity (OW/OB) in childhood. We outline a biopsychosocial process model of the development of OW/OB in childhood. The model and associated scholarship from developmental theory and research guide an analysis of research on OW/OB in childhood. The model incorporates biological factors such as genetic predispositions or susceptibility genes, temperament, and homeostatic and allostatic processes with the psychosocial and behavioral factors of parenting, parental feeding practices, child appetitive traits, food liking, food intakes, and energy expenditure. There is an emphasis on bidirectional and transactional processes linking child biology and behavior with psychosocial processes and environment. Insights from developmental theory and research include implications for conceptualization, measurement, research design, and possible multiple pathways to OW/OB. Understanding the developmental processes and pathways involved in childhood OW/OB should contribute to more targeted prevention and intervention strategies in childhood.

“…Self-regulation is important for children's healthy functioning and development, as shown by its associations with a wide range of developmental outcomes, including behavioral, social, emotional and academic adjustment [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], school readiness [9,10] positive health outcomes [11] and overweight/obesity [7,[12][13][14][15][16]. Self-regulation has been identified as a central aspect of development in the early years [4,8,11,[17][18][19].…”

“…Scholarship on food-related self-regulation in childhood has emerged rapidly in recent years. It has included attention to self-regulation of energy intake (SREI) [26][27][28][29], and more generally to appetite self-regulation (ASR) or self-regulation of eating [13,20,[30][31][32][33][34] where selfregulation difficulties have been repeatedly associated with poor dietary intakes and weight status in children.…”

“Food” and “non-food” self-regulation in childhood: a review and reciprocal analysis

Background In developmental science, there is an extensive literature on non-food related self-regulation in childhood, where several domains relating to emotions, actions and cognitions have been identified. There is now growing attention to food related self-regulation in childhood, especially difficulties with ASR, and the consequences for weight gain and adiposity. The aim of this narrative review was to conduct a reciprocal analysis of self-regulation in the food and non-food domains in childhood (referred to as appetite self-regulation (ASR) and general self-regulation (GSR) respectively). The focus was on commonalities and differences in key concepts and underpinning processes. Methods Databases and major journals were searched using terms such as self-regulation, appetite self-regulation, or self-regulation of energy intake, together with associated constructs (e.g., Executive Function, Effortful Control, delay-of-gratification). This was followed by backward and forward snowballing. Results and discussion The scholarship on GSR in childhood has had a focus on the role of the cognitively-oriented Executive Function (EF), the temperamentally-based Effortful Control (EC) and the recursive interplay between bottom-up (reactive, emotion driven, approach or avoidance) and top-down (cognitive, conscious decision-making) processes. “Hot” and “cool/cold” EF and self-regulation situations have been distinguished. There were some parallels between GSR and ASR in these areas, but uncertainty about the contribution of EF and EC to ASR in young children. Possible differences between the contribution to ASR-related outcomes of delay-of-gratification in food and non-food tasks were apparent. Unique elements of ASR were identified; associated with psychological, biological and neurological responses to food and bottom-up processes. A diverse number of situations or elements connected to ASR exist: for example, energy balance homeostasis, caloric compensation, hunger regulation, satiation, satiety, energy density of food, eating in the absence of hunger, emotional eating, etc. Conclusions Self-regulation in food and non-food domains are amenable to a reciprocal analysis. We argue that self-regulation of appetite should be added as a domain under the umbrella of self-regulation in childhood along with the other non-food related domains. This could lead to a broader understanding of self-regulation in childhood, and generate novel lines of enquiry.
