Summary

This study looks at how parents can best help children aged 4 to 5 who are naturally drawn to food avoid unhealthy eating and obesity. Researchers will test different parenting strategies with 416 families to see which ones work best. The goal is to find simple, effective ways to support healthy habits in kids who are at higher risk for overeating.
