Berge JM, et al. - In the present study, the researchers prospectively investigated the bidirectional link between parental feeding practices (eg, instrumental feeding, encouragement to eat) and child eating behaviors (eg, food responsiveness, emotional eating) in low-income, ethnically diverse preschool children over a 3-year period. Parent/child (age 2-4 years at baseline) pairs (n = 222 non-Hispanics; n = 312 Hispanics) took partin NET-Works (Now Everybody Together for Amazing and Healthful Kids), a randomized controlled trial conducted in community and in-home settings in urban areas of Minnesota. Findings suggested that parental instrumental and emotional feeding practices can prospectively affect the responsiveness and satiety of the child's food. This research shows causal temporality between parental feeding practices and child eating behaviors. Healthcare providers may wish to use findings on parent feeding practices as part of their anticipatory guidance during well-child visits with parents of preschoolers.
