“…There may be a role for using happiness as a goal in order to engage patients, even if the physician cannot measure that as an outcome. There are recent studies linking measures of happiness with physical activity in adults; [ 31 , 32 ] one of the challenges in measuring happiness in this age group in particular is relying on parental report of child happiness, which tends to correlate more with their own happiness rather than that of their child [ 33 ]. Another interpretation may be that happiness is highly important to parents regardless and the responses do not explicitly link weight management behaviors and happiness as an outcome of those behaviors.…”

“…This indicates that the opinion of parents or clinicians in most cases does not represent that of the adolescent when it comes to body/weight concerns. Despite the fact that literature lacks when it comes to on the accuracy of parental observations with regard to potential DEBs or those of the clinicians, previous studies have shown that indeed parents and pediatric diabetes teams are not in agreement with adolescents in terms of adolescents' psychosocial well‐being .The assessment of DEBs should thus preferably involve the adolescent him of herself.…”
