Who can join
Age: 3 and older, up to 5. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.
You may qualify if…
- The child is between ages 3-5 years (36 to 71 months). [Note if a family has more than one qualifying child we will choose the child with the lower CEBQ SR score and if they are equal we will randomly select the target child for the study dyad.]
- Child's body mass index > 85th percentile for age and sex
- This will be calculated based on age, weight and height using the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition BMI calculator [if mother is unsure of the weight and height ask whether she has been told her child is overweight or obese by the PCP]
- Child has significantly abnormal parent-reported impairment of energy regulation (Rating of 2.8 or lower on the CEB-Q).
- The mother is fluent in English (measures are limited to English at this time)
- Mother (or female caregiver) has primary legal and physical custody of the child and is primarily responsible for feeding the child. Specifically the child is not in a non-parental home daycare more than 20 hours/week. Structured child care centers are not included in this limitation because they use structure care and feeding techniques similar to those taught in the FeeDIn Program.
You may not qualify if…
- Child has a medical condition or takes a medication that affects appetite, eating, or growth;
- Child has food allergies or dietary restrictions that interfere with feeding or the study tests (i.e., milk, gluten and eggs?)
- Child has any developmental or behavioral diagnosis that might affect his/her ability to respond to a behaviorally-based intervention, e.g., cognitive impairment, language delay, or autism.
