If the T1 feeding practices were significant predictors of T2 eating behaviour after taking into account the effect of prior (T1) eating behaviour, this would indicate support for the hypothesis that maternal
feeding practices predict the development of particular child eating behaviours.
Parent
feeding practices predict authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive parenting styles
Maternal
feeding practices predict weight gain and obesogenic eating behaviors in young children: a prospective study.
Not exact matches
The secondary aim was to establish whether maternal
feeding practices or child eating behaviours would
predict child BMIz one year later, after controlling for initial BMIz.
Hierarchical multiple regressions were used to test whether maternal
feeding practices could
predict changes in child eating behaviours over time.
The aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which maternal
feeding practices prospectively
predict the development of eating behaviour and BMI in pre-school-aged children.
BMI z - score at T2 was not significantly
predicted by T1 maternal
feeding practices (R 2 Change =.01, p =.857), or by T1 child eating behaviours (R 2 Change =.01, p =.707) after controlling for maternal and child covariates, and T1 BMIz.
We hypothesised that the use of maternal
feeding practices with 2 - to 4 - year - old children would prospectively
predict child eating behaviours and child BMI over 12 months.
Unexpectedly, maternal BE also
predicted higher child BMI percentile indirectly through Distress responses, independently of Balance / Variety, Pressure to Eat, and Emotion Regulation
feeding practices.
Maternal BE
predicted use of more nonresponsive
feeding practices (e.g. Emotion Regulation, Restriction for Health, Pressure to Eat, and Food as Reward), indirectly through more Distress responses to children's negative emotions.
We also tested a serial mediation model positing that maternal BE
predicts child body mass index (BMI) percentile change 18 - 24 months later, indirectly through unsupportive responses to negative emotion and nonresponsive
feeding practices.
