Yet, despite having an important role, little is known about how parents emotionally experience mealtimes with their family. The first aim of the current study was to assess the factor structure of a novel self-report measure to assess parents' emotiona…

Exploring reference group composition when ranking weight with others
Mothers' experiences of their own parents' food parenting practices and use of coercive food-related practices with their children
The current research examines the relationships between mothers' experiences of the ways in which they were provided food as a child, their current eating behaviours, and their use of coercive food parenting practices with their own child. Mothers (N = 907 (M = 37 years, SD = 7.7)) completed an online/paper survey that included validated measures of food parenting practices and eating behaviours. Regression analyses show that mothers' experiences…
Disturbance at the dinner table: Exploring mothers' experiences of mealtimes when caring for their son or daughter with anorexia nervosa

Maternal body dissatisfaction in pregnancy, postpartum and early parenting: An overlooked factor implicated in maternal and childhood obesity risk
The Stability and Continuity of Maternally Reported and Observed Child Eating Behaviours and Feeding Practices across Early Childhood
Given that many eating behaviours and food preferences develop early in childhood and track across childhood, adolescence and into adulthood, interest has grown in the developmental trajectory of these behaviours. The aims of this study were twofold. First, to explore whether maternal reports of child eating behaviour and feeding practices are validated by independent observations of these constructs. Second, to explore the continuity and stabili…
Observation and Comparison of Mealtime Behaviors in a Sample of Children With Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorders and a Control Sample of Children With Typical Development
Despite widespread use of behavioral observations to evaluate child feeding behaviors in research and clinical practice, few studies have comprehensively characterized mealtimes or identified features that differentiate children with and without disordered feeding; these were the aims of the current study. Mealtime observations were conducted for 18 children with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and 21 typically developing childr…
Maternal feeding practices and children's eating behaviours: A comparison of mothers with healthy weight versus overweight/obesity
The importance of mealtime structure for reducing child food fussiness
The aim of this study was to explore how the structure of mealtimes within the family setting is related to children's fussy eating behaviours. Seventy-five mothers of children aged between 2 and 4 years were observed during a typical mealtime at home. The mealtimes were coded to rate mealtime structure and environment as well as the child's eating behaviours (food refusal, difficulty to feed, eating speed, positive and negative vocalisations). M…
Relative Contributions of Parent‐perceived Child Characteristics to Variation in Child Feeding Behavior
Few studies have examined the relative impact of co‐occurring child characteristics on problematic feeding behavior. The aim of the current study was to assess the relative contributions of parent‐perceived child characteristics in multivariable models of child feeding behavior. One hundred sixty‐one mothers reported on their child's feeding behavior and a number of key child characteristics. These characteristics were entered into controlled mul…
