“…The health socialization literature identifies a range of parental socialization messages that have enduring effects on child health behaviors, including the transmission of knowledge/information, direct control of children's behaviors (e.g., eating), reinforcing or discouraging child behavior via parental responses, parental modeling, and managing external influences (e.g., exposure to certain foods; Baranowski, 1990). Culture uniquely shapes parental messages on health; for example, compared with European American mothers, mothers of Mexican origin were more likely to emphasize socialization messages on hygiene and safety than nutrition (Lees & Tinsley, 2000; Olvera‐Ezzell et al, 1994). Diep et al (2017) found that Chinese American parents influenced their children's eating behaviors and preferences for Chinese food through modeling, affecting the access or availability of foods, or restricting unhealthy foods.…”
