Project description

The aim of this project is to examine specific parental feeding strategies in relation to a child’s eating behavior and weight status. This project is made to go out to a clear definition of the concept of ‘feeding control’by studying parental control in a domain and child-specific way (via sibling designs) and by using observations next to questionnaires.
