“…Our findings support previous evidence on the relationship between parenting style and children's dietary behaviour (Campbell et al, 2010;Kremers et al, 2003;Pearson et al, 2009;Rodenburg et al, 2012;Vereecken et al, 2010). The study suggests that global parental self-efficacy is a better predictor for dietary behaviour of young children, showing a stronger association with healthy dietary behaviours, compared with parental self-efficacy for an infant.…”

“…Studies on parenting style and parental self-efficacy and their associations with children's dietary behaviour have produced mixed results (Campbell, Hesketh, Silverii, & Abbott, 2010;De Bourdeaudhuij et al, 2009;Gubbels et al, 2009;Kremers et al, 2003;Pearson et al, 2009;Rodenburg et al, 2012;Vereecken et al, 2009;Vereecken et al, 2010), and these results may not be comparable because different definitions, classifications or measures in relation to parenting styles have been used. Some studies Kremers et al, 2003;Pearson et al, 2009;Vereecken et al, 2009) have used Maccoby and Martin's (Maccoby & Martin, 1983) classifications of parenting style with two dimensions -responsiveness (parental warmth/hostility) and demandingness (parental control).…”

Parenting style may have a role in the development of young children's dietary behaviour, and a better understanding of parenting style may lead to better-targeted childhood obesity prevention interventions. This study aimed to investigate the association of parental self-efficacy, parenting style and dietary behaviour of young children. A cross-sectional study with 242 first-time mothers and their children was conducted using the data from the Healthy Beginnings Trial undertaken in one of the most socially and economically disadvantaged areas of south-western Sydney, in 2007-2010. Parental self-efficacy, parenting style (warmth and hostility) and children's dietary behaviours (consumption of vegetables, fruit, soft-drink and snacks) were assessed by face-to-face interviews with participating mothers in the control group when their children were 2 years old. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the association between parenting style and the child's dietary behaviour. Mothers with higher levels of global parental self-efficacy and self-efficacy for an infant were more likely to report their children had 2 serves of vegetables per day, with odds ratio (OR) 2.40 (95%CI 1.35-4.27, P = 0.003) and OR 1.88 (95%CI 1.06-3.36, P = 0.03), respectively. A higher level of global parental self-efficacy or self-efficacy for an infant was significantly associated with having 2 serves of fruit per day with adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.46 (95%CI 1.35-4.48, P = 0.003) and AOR 1.85 (95%CI 1.00-3.41, P = 0.048), respectively, after adjusting for annual household income. Mothers with a higher level of parental warmth were more likely to report their children had 2 serves of vegetable per day with OR 1.85 (95%CI 1.06-3.25, P = 0.03). Parental self-efficacy and parenting style were associated, cross-sectionally, with important children's dietary behaviours. Interventions which target parental self-efficacy and parenting style may improve eating habits of young children, and contribute to childhood obesity prevention. Mothers with higher levels of global parental self-efficacy and self-efficacy for an infant were more likely to report their children had 2 serves of vegetables per day, with odds ratio (OR) 2.40 (95%CI

Objective: To systematically review the literature and map published studies on 4-8-year-olds' intake of discretionary choices against an ecological framework (ANalysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity; ANGELO). Design: Articles were identified through database searches (PubMed, PyscINFO ® , Web of Science) in February and March 2014 and hand-searching reference lists. Studies were assessed for methodological quality and mapped against the ANGELO framework by environment size (macro and micro setting) and type (physical, economic, policy and socio-cultural influences). Setting: Studies were conducted in the USA (n 18), Australia (n 6), the UK (n 3), the Netherlands (n 3), Belgium (n 1), Germany (n 1) and Turkey (n 1). Subjects: Children aged 4-8 years, or parents/other caregivers. Results: Thirty-three studies met the review criteria (observational n 23, interventions n 10). Home was the most frequently studied setting (67 % of exposures/strategies), with the majority of these studies targeting family policy-type influences (e.g. child feeding practices, television regulation). Few studies were undertaken in government (5·5 %) or community (11 %) settings, or examined economic-type influences (0 %). Of the intervention studies only four were categorised as effective. Conclusions: The present review is novel in its focus on mapping observational and intervention studies across a range of settings. It highlights the urgent need for high-quality research to inform interventions that directly tackle the factors influencing children's excess intake of discretionary choices. Interventions that assist in optimising a range of environmental influences will enhance the impact of future public health interventions to improve child diet quality.

“…The first potential interpretation was that the frequency of the refusing food exists to the same level in the community, but some parents report that it is not a problem. The reason they do not report it as a problem could be because they share similar traits and dietary variety as their child (Galloway et al, 2003), have a higher self-efficacy in their parenting skills (Campbell et al, 2010), or perceive the frequency of the problematic mealtime behaviour as transient (Dahl & Sundelin, 1992;Dahl et al, 1994) or some other unidentified factor relating to parental engagement or responsibility. Further research into this perception is merited to form definitive conclusions concerning predictors of the child's behaviour and/or parental perceptions of food avoidance as a problem.…”

Screening Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in children: Outcomes from utilitarian versus specialist psychometrics

This study assessed the specificity and sensitivity of two commonly used psychometric methods to assess ARFID in children. To achieve this, a sample of 329 mothers and one father completed the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) and the Child Food Neophobia Scale (CFNS). A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that both measures were able to successfully differentiate a known clinical sample from those of typically developing population. Although the BPFAS was more accurate at differentiating ARFID from the general population, the CFNS was acceptable and on some metrics better than its longer counterpart. The ability of a food neophobia scale to differentiate clinical and population samples, and detect gradation of food avoidance within the population sample, suggests that the multitude of psychometric measures available may be measuring similar constructs. Therefore, confidence can be expected in cross-site comparisons despite each using different psychometric measures of food avoidance in children.
