“…These new food preferences and changes in child eating patterns can be detrimental to immigrant children's health, including the development of obesity (Antecol & Bedard, 2006;Peréz-Escamilla, 2010). Previous studies (Bowne, 2009) reinforce the roles of caregivers in shaping children's eating patterns and extend to this article as we explore the efficacy of Latina immigrant mothers in negotiating their new food environments to ensure their children consume nutritious and adequate amounts of food.…”

“…As Latino immigrant children grow up in the U.S., their exposure to and consumption of canned, prepackaged, frozen, and fast food increases, commonly resulting in children developing preferences for "American food" over traditional food from their home countries (McArthur, Viramontez Anguiano, & Nocetti, 2001). Previous studies (Bowne, 2009) reinforce the roles of caregivers in shaping children's eating patterns and extend to this article as we explore the efficacy of Latina immigrant mothers in negotiating their new food environments to ensure their children consume nutritious and adequate amounts of food.

Latina immigrant mothers face complex challenges as they try to ensure their children get adequate nourishment to grow up healthy in their new U.S. communities. Eighty‐three Latina immigrant mothers living in a rural area of a Midwestern state who had young children and low household incomes were interviewed to explore their satisfaction with the food their children were eating, as well as ecological factors that affected children's eating patterns. Three overarching themes emerged from the data: (i) Mothers as gatekeepers of healthy child eating; (ii) Barriers to healthy child eating; and (iii) Changing child eating patterns. Mothers retained their cultural identity as primary caregivers and wanted their children to consume nourishing food. Mothers varied in their ability to negotiate their new food environments to maintain cultural food practices and promote healthy child eating patterns. Family and consumer science professionals could facilitate opportunities to (i) link immigrant families to Extension Master Gardeners to learn techniques to successfully grow food in a new climate; (ii) bring immigrant families, school food service staff, growers and grocers together to strategize how to increase children's access to locally grown food at school; (iii) assist immigrant families in identifying strategies to maintain healthy cultural food traditions while consuming less fat, salt, and sugar; and (iv) increase representation of immigrant families on school and community program advisory committees to ensure policies and programs are informed by families. Such opportunities can strengthen social capital among immigrant families and their community and support healthy child eating patterns.

“…This topic has generated a complex array of research questions, including the extent to which children’s and adolescent’s diets are ‘co-constructed’ with parents, 19 the effects of permissive vs restrictive ‘parenting styles’ on obesity and overweight, 20,21 and whether parental intervention on food choices heightens child obesity, perhaps through inciting rebellious behavior. 22 Our finding that parent–child joint food decision making did not dramatically change purchasing practices points to the need for further investigation.…”

Child and adolescent fast-food choice and the influence of calorie labeling: a natural experiment

2011

Objective Obesity is an enormous public health problem and children have been particularly highlighted for intervention. Of notable concern is the fast-food consumption of children. However, we know very little about how children or their parents make fast-food choices, including how they respond to mandatory calorie labeling. We examined children’s and adolescents’ fast-food choice and the influence of calorie labels in low-income communities in New York City (NYC) and in a comparison city (Newark, NJ). Design Natural experiment: Survey and receipt data were collected from low-income areas in NYC, and Newark, NJ (as a comparison city), before and after mandatory labeling began in NYC. Study restaurants included four of the largest chains located in NYC and Newark: McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Subjects A total of 349 children and adolescents aged 1–17 years who visited the restaurants with their parents (69%) or alone (31%) before or after labeling was introduced. In total, 90% were from racial or ethnic minority groups. Results We found no statistically significant differences in calories purchased before and after labeling; many adolescents reported noticing calorie labels after their introduction (57% in NYC) and a few considered the information when ordering (9%). Approximately 35% of adolescents ate fast food six or more times per week and 72% of adolescents reported that taste was the most important factor in their meal selection. Adolescents in our sample reported that parents have some influence on their meal selection. Conclusions Adolescents in low-income communities notice calorie information at similar rates as adults, although they report being slightly less responsive to it than adults. We did not find evidence that labeling influenced adolescent food choice or parental food choices for children in this population.

Early dental caries prevention in this case self-care oral cultivation needs to be done primarily in primary school-aged children. Indonesians are people who have not considered oral health since their early years. Dental and oral health education programs with aspects that only emphasize the realm of knowledge is not significant enough to change the paradigm in society and reduce the number of caries. Elementary dental school (EDS) using appreciative inquiry approach develops positive change concept which is a new discourse in the world of health promotion.With the appreciative inquiry approach, the positive core that will be used as a medium of transformation builds awareness and forms a healthy paradigm in children. The program seeks to raise awareness of maintaining oral hygiene through the stages of providing dance knowledge through animation and games by integrating school and home environments through the participation of teachers and parents.The results of the implementation of EDS program showed significant changes of knowledge in children especially seen from the increase of post test value compared to the pre test value which experienced an increase of 35.3%.
