Summary

This pilot study explores whether a four-week online training program for fathers can positively influence their feeding attitudes and their children's eating behaviors. The program, delivered via video sessions, covers topics like sensory processing, mealtime routines, and positive reinforcement. Researchers will measure changes in fathers' confidence and feeding styles, as well as children's mealtime behaviors, over several weeks. The goal is to see if this approach could be a helpful tool for families dealing with feeding challenges.

Active substance
Online Feeding Awareness Training for Fathers
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical, accessible way to help fathers support better eating habits in young children, potentially reducing mealtime struggles.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training is short and online, and its long-term impact is uncertain.
