Confirmatory factor analysis of the Child Feeding Questionnaire among low-income African American families of preschool children
Maternal Feeding Strategies, Child Eating Behaviors, and Child BMI in Low‐Income African‐American Preschoolers
Objective: To test the hypothesis that low‐income African‐American preschool children would have a higher BMI if their mothers reported greater “restriction” and “control” in feeding and if mothers reported that children showed greater “food responsiveness” and “desire to drink.” In addition, to test whether higher maternal “pressure to eat” would be associated with lower child BMI. Research Methods and Procedures: A questionnaire was completed b…
Influences of Student and Family Factors on Academic Outcomes of Mainstream Secondary School Deaf Students
This article considers some of the student and family factors influencing the educational achievements of deaf children. It is based on a study of 16-year-old deaf students in mainstream schools in England. Findings indicate the complexity of interpreting statistical results, especially on the effect of degree of hearing loss. The discussion addresses the specific question of why this factor is often reported as not significant in academic achiev…
From Concepts to Practice in Deaf Education
This article considers the different ways that inclusion is conceived in the United Kingdom by government, teachers, and academics. I contend that a concept of inclusion based primarily on the notion of students with special educational needs being in mainstream schools is unhelpful to educators of deaf children and that a broader concept is needed. A working definition of inclusion is presented based on a system of values. I suggest "indicators …
Maternal Feeding Practices and Beliefs and Their Relationships to Overweight in Early Childhood
To better explore possible factors that may lead to childhood obesity, we developed and analyzed two new instruments that assess maternal feeding practices and beliefs. The Infant Feeding Questionnaire (IFQ) assesses feeding during the entire first year of life and was administered to 453 mothers of children 11 to 23 months old. The Preschooler Feeding Questionnaire (PFQ) assesses feeding of young children between the ages of 2 to 5 years and was…
Why Don't Low-Income Mothers Worry About Their Preschoolers Being Overweight?
CONTEXT: Mothers are in an important position to prevent obesity in their children by shaping early diet and activity patterns. However, many mothers of overweight preschool children are not worried about their child's weight. OBJECTIVE: To explore mothers' perceptions about how they determine when a child is overweight, why children become overweight, and what barriers exist to preventing or managing childhood obesity. DESIGN: Three focus groups…
Maternal Perceptions of Overweight Preschool Children
CONTEXT: Childhood obesity is a major public health problem, and prevention efforts should begin early in life and involve parents. OBJECTIVE: To determine what factors are associated with mothers' failure to perceive when their preschool children are overweight. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTINGS: Offices of private pediatricians and clinics of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). PARTICIPANTS:…
