Parents socialize their children
through helping them to internalize
goals, values and beliefs in order to
become productive members of
society.

status
• Feeding styles and their relationship to child eating
behaviors and child weight status
– moderating effect of FS on the relationship between
feeding practices and child eating behaviors

• Current ongoing research on observations during
mealtime in low-income families

In a sample of middle-class,
predominantly White parents, this
study showed that the authoritarian
style is highly related to child
obesity!

Indulgent
Make few demands to eat but those
demands are supportive

Authoritative
Actively encourage eating using nondirective and supportive behaviors

Parents with Authoritative Feeding Styles
Report 1:

– More monitoring of eating
– Make fruit and vegetables more available
Observed at meals to be 2:

– Less negative, disapproving
– Give more prompts
Have children 3:

– Smaller self-selected portions
– Eat more dairy, vegetables

Parents with Authoritarian Feeding Styles
Report 1:

– More restriction, pressure to eat
– Make fewer fruit and vegetables available
Observed at meals to be 2:

– Spoon-feeding, hurrying
– Telling child to eat small amount
– Disapproving, intrusive
Have children 3:

– Larger self-selected portions
– Eat fewer vegetables

Parents with Indulgent Feeding Styles
Report 1:

– Less restrictive feeding
Observed at meals to be 2:

– Less involved in the meal
– Less negative and intrusive
– Make fewer eating demands
Have children 3:

– Larger self-selected portions
– Eat more energy-dense meals and snacks
– At a greater risk for obesity

In samples of low-income minority
parents, our studies consistently
showed that the indulgent feeding
style is related to less optimal child
eating behaviors and obesity!

Moderating effect of feeding styles
•

99 Hispanic, Black, and White low-income families
(child age 6 to 11 years)

•

Rural families were recruited in four states
(KY, CA, MS, and SC)

•

Multiple measures
–
–

–
–

Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ; feeding practices)
Caregiver’s Feeding Style Questionnaire (CFSQ; feeding
styles)
24 hour recalls on the children
Heights and weights measured

Summary and Conclusions
• Evidence of association between indulgent
feeding style and higher child weight
- Based on parent self-report
- Most of these studies were based on lowincome minority samples
- Observations are needed to support the selfreported feeding styles in minorities
Observations
at dinnertime
Observations during the dinner meal

Goal: To better understand
indulgent feeding through
observation including the
emotional climate of the
meal and specific feeding
practices used by these
parents

Hughes et al., under review
Observational study of meal times
•

177 Hispanic and Black low-income families with preschoolers

•

3 evening meal observations on each family

•

Measures
– Caregiver’s Feeding Styles Questionnaire (CFSQ; parent-report)
– Live global coding of the emotional climate
– Live behavioral coding (feeding practices)

Practices during the meal
• FS w/high demand used some practices more
frequently than FS w/low demand
– Verbal prompts to eat

• Authoritarian FS (highly directive /low responsivity)
used specific practices more frequently than other FS
– Spoon feeding / Eat a small amount / Hurrying

• Authoritarian FS used punitive practices more
frequently than FS w/ high responsivity (authoritative
and indulgent)
– Disapproving/scolded
Indulgent Feeding Style was
observed to be:
• High on Detachment
• Low on Negative Affect &
Intrusiveness

• Made few demands on
their children to eat
Overall Conclusions
• Observations of both emotional climate during the
meal and specific feeding practices strongly
supported self-reported feeding styles
• Represents one of the first attempts to examine
emotional components of parents during the meal
through direct observation
• Attempts to define the infrastructure of parent/
child interactions during eating
Current coding of audio/video tapes
• Level of Directiveness (risk low with moderate levels)
• Responses to internal cues (risk low if responsive and high if
overrides)

• Responses to exploring food (risk low if positive)
– Distinguish between exploring and playing with food

• Emphasis on manners (risk low with moderate levels)
– Emphasis on sitting properly, being quiet, etc.

• Emphasis on developing eating skills and autonomy
• Emotional responsiveness (risk low if responsive)
– Global ratings of positive affect, negative affect, intrusion, and
detachment
– Responsiveness to child behaviors (verbalizations , gestures)

Notas del editor

  1. When you think back in your early childhood (for better or worse), your parents were the most important figures in your life. A lot of their influence was based on their parenting.As psychologists, when we think of parenting we think about how parents raise their children to be productive members of society. We call this ‘socialization’. This socialization process has been linked to many areas of children’s lives including better emotional competence and attachment, better peer relations, and better academic achievement in children who have been properly socialized.
  2. We know that parents socialize their children by getting them to internalize goals and values that parents deem important.When it comes to eating, the parenting environment remains the first and most fundamental context in which children’s eating behaviors are socialized—Eating socialization refers to the processes by which children learn to adopt eating norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors that are practiced in their culture and accepted in their family. These internalized goals and values help children to learn to self-regulate their own behavior as they get older and are in many situations away from their parents.
  3. General parenting styles and the seminal article linking PS to child weight.Over 40 years of research in developmental psychology have investigated styles of general parenting and their outcomes on children. General PS depict the climate of the parent-child relationship &amp; set the emotional tone for specific practices parents use to direct their children’s behavior. PS are thought to be trait-like – much like personality. This means that PS will probably not be amenable to change. But practices within those styles are likely to be modified with intervention.
  4. The 4 styles of have been distinguished from parenting practices. Styles are different from practices in that styles reflect an attitude toward the child whereas practices are goal directed behaviors that parents use to get their children to do something specific.Parenting styles reflect the larger context within which parenting is expressed.My research and other researchers in the field have shown that styles of parenting definitely impact child eating behaviors and weight status.
  5. To summarize………..
  6. Similar to PS, styles of feeding depict the overall climate of the feeding relationship &amp; set the emotional tone around eating that provides context for the specific practices parents use to get their children to eat.My body or research has drawn on developmental psychology literature to look at parenting styles specific to the eating context – which we call feeding styles. Like general PS – these styles are considered to be trait-like in that they are not amenable to change. However, being able to identify these parent characteristics are important for intervention purposes.
  7. Much of the work evaluating feeding styles and children’s eating and weight has been conducted in the past half decade (much of the work conducted by our group of researchers)—on this slide I’ve described the participants in five studies that link FS to child eating and weight.
  8. Based on these studies – we found that parents who
  9. What we found is somewhat different from the Rhee study of white, middle class families. In her study, authoritarian parents had children with the highest rates of obesity.
  10. So back to our original picture ….Parenting and feeding styles have been hypothesized to moderate the relationship between practices and child outcomes.Meaning that practices may work differently for some of the feeding styles.
  11. We found that:In the presence of an indulgent feeding style, more parental restriction of snack foods was related to higher intake of snack foods defined as LNEDs (low nutrient, energy dense foods such as cheetos).One possible explanation for these results is that when an indulgent parent tries to set restriction or limits, then the child is not likely to follow those rules (since the next time they are likely to get what they want anyhow given an indulgent feeding environment. This would be especially true as the child gets older and can gain access to certain foods on their own. The children in this study were older (mean age of 9) and they are out of their parents control more often than preschoolers.
  12. Along with restriction, in the presence of an indulgent FS, high monitoring of snack foods was associated with higher intake of those foods.
  13. It appears based on this data that practices may work differently in the presence of some FS.
  14. This is a picture of a typical family meal in the 50s or 60s. Dinners back then all had a familiar feel (at least those depicted on TV). Mothers wore aprons, pearls and high heels and served huge pot roasts. Fathers wore ties to the dinner meal. The children were all bright-eyed and well-scrubbed.Conversation was cheery and everyone was happy. Life lessons were discussed over mashed potatoes and peas. Children were always treated with respect and patience.Whether this is still what happens or ever happened at dinnertime is unknown? Based on our observations, probably not!
  15. Differences were found across the 4 FS on 3 of the 4 emotional climate variables.Negative affect are things like displays of anger, contempt, glaring at the child. Includes tone, affect, verbalizations, and non-verbal behavior.Intrusiveness was defined as the extent to which parents force their own agendas on children with no regard for the children’s feelings.“I made this dinner and you are going to eat all of it.”Parental detachment is considered lack of involvement or investment in the child’s behavior during dinner such as ignoring the child.
  16. To put it another way, authoritarian parents were observed to be higher on negative affect and intrusion.Uninvolved parents were observed to be higher on negative affect and detachmentBoth authoritative and indulgent parents (who are high on responsivity) were observed to be lower on negative affect and intrusion.
  17. We found that…………..Authoritarian parents were observed to be more demanding across all the feeding practices in trying to get their children to eat.Indulgent parents were observed to be less demanding across all the feeding practices.These practices included…….
  18. More specifically, FS (characterized by high demand) used verbal prompts more frequently than those with low demand.Authoritarian parents (characterized by highly directive behaviors and low responsivity) used spoon feeding, telling the child to eat a small amount and hurrying the child more frequently than other FS.
  19. Bottom line is that …..We found that the indulgent FS was observed to be:High on detachment Low on…Detachment not only describes lack of involvement but lack of investment in the child’s eating behaviors.
  20. An more generally, this work represents an attempt to define the infrastructure of parent-child interactions during mealtime eating.
  21. We are also interested in parents’ responses to internal cues of satiety. We want parents to facilitate these internal cues by being sensitive to when children say “I am still hungry” or “I am full”. Parents who are sensitive to these cues will probably have children who are okay. Parents who override these cues will probably have children who become overweight/obese.We are coding explicit statements such as “I am full” and mom’s response to those statements. Does mom then override that statement and say “Clean you plate”. Similarly, we are coding when the child serves themselves more food or stops eating and mom’s response to those child behaviors.
  22. Finally, in the live coding results that I showed you, parents were classified into the 4 FS based on their self-reported information on the CFSQ questionnaire. We then supported these FS with live coding of parent emotions and practices during the meal.Our next step was to determine if FS assessed by observation (not self-report) was related to child weight.
  23. Given the time and effort it takes to code these videotapes (about 5 hours of coding per average meal of 17 minutes), we decided that in our first attempt to code our families, we would choose 80 families equally distributed by child gender, child weight status, and ethnicity. This translated into 10 children per cell. We choose these 80 families out of a total of 138 families with complete data – that is audio/videotapes of the meal and measured BMI on the child. We decided to first code only the 2nd observation on each of these families so as to reduce reactivity.
  24. Results from the in-depth coding of these 80 families are consistent with the earlier findings from our previous studies. Observations show that 85 percent of the mothers with the most indulgent parenting styles (those who engaged in less than ten influence attempts per meal and who were above the mean on positive affect) had overweight /obese children, although only half of the children in this sample were overweight or obese.  Interestingly, most of these highly indulgent mothers were Hispanic.  Further analyses of other influence strategies and directives in the observations are currently underway.
  25. In conclusion, we have evidence that supports the need for balance between responsivity and demandingness when parenting preschool children around food. An imbalance in these two dimensions results in less optimal child outcomes such as overweight and obesity.
