Preschool children’s preferences for sedentary activity relates to parent’s restrictive rules around active outdoor play
This study identified that parenting practices are not only associated with children's active and sedentary behaviours (parent-reported), but also with how children prefer to play (parent-reported). Future research should seek to clarify the relationship between children's activity preferences and parent's use of screen-time to reward and control their child's behaviour, given the developmental and behavioural health risks associated with excessi…
