“…That study conducted a secondary cross-sectional analysis of data from 194 children, 3.5-5 years of age (97% healthy weight), to show that food responsiveness (measured using the CEBQ) fully mediated the relation between child conduct problems (measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire) and child BMIz, accounting for 5.33% of the variance in BMIz (40). Similarly, Darling et al examined mediation between restrictive/controlling feeding practices, food insecurity and child BMI percentile (n = 790, 7-17 years), reporting an effect size of 6.8% after controlling for familial income and child age (41).

Summary Objective Parent's use of restrictive feeding practices is associated with child weight. Similarly, the literature shows that children's eating behaviours are also associated with child weight. Given this interrelationship between children's eating behaviours, restrictive feeding practices and child weight, examination of possible mediator relationships is warranted. This study aimed to examine the relationships between overt restriction and covert restriction with child body mass index z ‐scores (BMIz) and determine if children's eating behaviours (satiety responsiveness and food responsiveness) act as mediators. Method Parents of Australian children ( n = 977) 2.0–5.0 years of age (49.4% male) provided data in an online survey on child eating behaviours, parent's restrictive feeding practices and child anthropometrics (modified z ‐scores were created to screen for biologically implausible values). Correlation analysis was used to determine variables to include in mediation models. Hayes' PROCESS macros in spss was used to examine mediation, controlling for covariates of child BMIz. Results Overt restriction was the only parent feeding practice related to child BMIz ( B = 0.132, P = 0.04). Mediation analysis showed that the indirect effect of overt restriction on child BMIz (controlling for child age, gender, parent BMI and income) became non‐significant when controlling for food responsiveness, thus suggesting full mediation, explaining 5.75% of the relation. Conclusion Overt restriction and covert restriction have distinctly different relationships with children's eating behaviours. Food responsiveness appears an important intermediary in the relationship between overt restriction and child BMIz.

“…Both groups completed the FAKT at the conclusion of their respective surveys. Previous studies have used mTurk to examine parenting practices and perceptions (Flessner, Murphy, Brennan, & D'Auria, 2017;Darling, Fahrenkamp, Ruzicka, & Sato, 2018) and participant data illustrated psychometric qualities equal to or higher than data from more traditional samples as well as providing more diverse populations (i.e., greater ethnic/racial and economic diversity) compared to other internet-based samples (Buhrmester, Kwang, & Gosling, 2011).…”

Objective Pediatric food allergy (FA) is a serious health condition that has become increasingly prevalent. Parents often play a primary role in assessing and managing risk for their child’s FAs, making it critical that they remain informed of the most recent guidelines for FA management. This study aimed to examine if diagnostic source (i.e., pediatrician vs. allergist) and child- and parent-level variables predicted parental FA knowledge using a comprehensive measure. Methods The Food Allergy Knowledge Test (FAKT) was administered to parents (N = 518) of children aged 3–17 years with (n = 349) and without (n = 169; i.e., control group) FAs using internet-sampling procedures. The sample was further partitioned into parents of children diagnosed by an allergist or a pediatrician, and control group parents who did or did not endorse knowing someone with an FA. Results Significant group differences were found with respect to the overall FAKT score and diagnostic source. Among the FA group, parental relationship to child, income, identification with a minority status, parental anxiety, and child possession of an emergency action plan were significant predictors of FAKT scores. Conclusions Knowledge of FA was poor across all groups. Education for caregivers both with and without food-allergic children is important to ensure FA safety in multiple settings. Future directions and limitations are discussed.
