“…Families can engage children in identifying J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f the healthiest snack from several choices. In contrast, less meal preparation time may lead to increased fast food or non-nutritious snack food (Lappan, 2020). To address this, parents can help children choose the healthiest items on menus and work to reduce fast food consumption to no more than once a week.…”

A child's familial environment is paramount to the formation and maintenance of their health behaviors. Factors that influence a child's health behaviors include parental modeling, types of available food, timing of food availability, and characteristics of the home environment. Previous research has demonstrated an association between a caregiver's current food security status and feeding practices, but no studies have explored the association between food security in the caregiver's childhood and their current feeding practices. This study investigates the relationship between parental food insecurity (both current and childhood) and child feeding practices. The US Household Food Security Survey and the Child Feeding Questionnaire were completed by 103 low-income, single, female primary caregivers. Results indicated that caregivers who reported current food insecurity expressed greater tendency to pressure their children to eat. Caregivers who reported food insecurity during their childhood also expressed greater tendency to pressure their children to eat and a greater concern about their child's weight. These findings can serve in both research and clinical efforts as an early screening tool to indicate families most in need of accessible resources. Findings also help to highlight the transgenerational nature of food insecurity, including its residual effects on health behaviors.

We investigate parents’ and guardians’ digital skills and the extent of their development in the context of the spread of the Corona epidemic. In addition, we sought to explore the differences in digital skills between parents and their employment status, age, and responsibility in teaching children. We sought to rely on the descriptive-analytical approach and prepared a scale of eight theoretical dimensions with the participation of 250 students’ Saudi parents. The application of the study was by online submission form (via Edit Submission). Our findings showed that there was a discrepancy in the performance of the sample, which was very high in the dimensions of operational skills, instrumental skills, and cognitive constructivism skills. There were also differences between the effect of computers on the instrumental skills and cognitive constructivism skills of the parents. Parents’ dependence on alternative digital sources in exploring for information, formulating knowledge, manipulating it, and criticizing. The learner can reach the cognitive level in a more flexible manner, which allows him to gain learning objectives. The knowledge navigation can be developed because of different online outdoor exercises and software familiar. This requires self-organization to search for appropriate knowledge to use in the renewal of the cognitive structure.
