A Study on Influences of Parent Feeding Pattern on the Kids

Abstract

Among young people (10–14 years of age), low dietary quality including physical inactivity may lead to a risen risk of obesity with associated pathogenesis for chronic illness. About 1/3rd of kids within this age groups are overweight as well as obese. Thus it is essential to give attention towards factors influencing food eating as being one of the key contributors to overweight. Young kids eat meals and drinks at meals that happen either with or without parental control. Parents can affect the eating behavior of young people on eating events when they are available or on autonomous eating occasions via participating in activities that impact food availability as well as beverages, and therefore by presumed normative perceptions of consumption. The aim of this study was therefore to explain the effect of parental strategies on eating habits in general as well as on autonomous eating opportunities for adolescent students in particular. This knowledge can help guide parenting interventions aimed at reducing obesity amongst early adolescents focused on independence eating opportunities.
