“…Por isso, pais que percecionam corretamente o problema, apresentam uma maior disposição para modelar comportamentos saudáveis e procurar recursos para lidar com o mesmo, sendo mais eficazes a fazê-lo (Doolen et al, 2009;Grimmett, Croker, Carnell, & Wardle, 2008;Kroke, Strathmann, & Günther, 2006;Mareno, 2014). É, deste modo, que as perceções parentais podem influenciar as práticas parentais (Birch et al, 2001;Costanzo & Woody, 1985;Tremblay et al, 2012). Segundo Costanzo e Woody (1985), as perceções parentais estão incorporadas num sistema de crenças específicas a domínios.…”

“…No entanto, a investigação que estuda as associações entre o peso das crianças, as perceções parentais sobre o peso das crianças e as práticas parentais alimentares é, ainda, escassa e os resultados dos estudos revelam alguma inconsistência (Coelho, Afonso, & Oliveira, 2017;Tremblay et al, 2012). Por um lado, o estudo de Brann e Skinner (2005) demonstrou que pais com rapazes de peso normal relatam práticas alimentares mais restritivas do que os pais com rapazes de excesso de peso/obesidade.…”

“…Apesar de os fatores biológicos serem particularmente considerados na etiologia da obesidade, estes não são suficientes para explicar a mesma, havendo, assim, uma necessidade de identificar e compreender outros fatores de forma a possibilitar o desenvolvimento de programas de prevenção e intervenção eficazes (Keitel-Korndörfer et al, 2015). Neste sentido, a investigação tem demonstrado que os fatores familiares, como as rotinas familiares, práticas parentais e perceções parentais, também contribuem para o desenvolvimento e manutenção da obesidade ao longo do tempo (Peters, Sinn, Campbell, & Lynch, 2012;Tremblay, Rinaldi, Lovsin, & Zecevic, 2012).…”

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a concordância entre os dados antropométricos das crianças (peso, altura, respetivos IMC e z-score de IMC calculados) reportados pelos pais e medidos objetivamente pelos investigadores, bem como a sua relação com as práticas parentais alimentares. Participaram no estudo 71 famílias, com crianças entre os 2 e os 6 anos. Verificou-se uma discordância entre os dados reportados pelos pais e os dados medidos para 45,5% das crianças. Foram encontrados efeitos bidirecionais entre a prática restrição por controlo de peso e a altura e peso reportados, bem como entre a prática pressão e o peso, IMC e z-score de IMC reportados. Os resultados sugerem que perceções parentais incorretas sobre o estado ponderal da criança poderão levar a maiores níveis de práticas parentais alimentares negativas, com impacto no peso das crianças. Por outro lado, pais e filhos, influenciam-se mutuamente, pelo que os pais são reativos ao peso das crianças, mas também o influenciam.

“…Parents’ ability to take action with regard to weight problems is again dependent upon being aware of the weight status of their children [ 10 ]. An important basis for this awareness is that parents recognize weight deviations in their offspring [ 11 ], and addressing parental weight perception seems important in preventing under- and overweight among children and adolescents.…”

BackgroundAn accurate weight perception has been associated with motivation to change eating habits in the case of under- or overweight. However, recent studies have reported frequent misperceptions among parents and their offspring, both in the form of under- and overestimation of weight status. The aim of the present study was to investigate weight perception accuracy among parents of young adolescents in relation to reports on disturbed eating patterns and mental health problems.MethodsWeight perception accuracy was assessed among parents of young adolescents (N = 5,781, aged 11 - 13 years) who participated in the ongoing Bergen Child Study (BCS). Parental weight perception was classified in overestimation, underestimation and accurate. Other measures included demographic variables, the parents’ evaluations of disturbed eating patterns and mental health problems among their offspring as well as the adolescents’ own weight perception accuracy.ResultsThe parents accurately perceived more than 80% of normal weight adolescents, but nearly 60% of the underweight adolescents were overestimated, and a substantial proportion of overweight girls (34. 8%) and boys (12.8%) were underestimated. In general, parents who were aware of deviations from average weight in their child also reported higher levels of disturbed eating patterns, emotional problems, and behavioral problems. After controlling for demographic factors, the risk of parental over- and underestimation was significantly predicted by weight status, the adolescents’ weight perception accuracy as well as disturbed eating patterns reported by the parents (p < .05).ConclusionsAdolescents with under- or overweight proved most likely to be misperceived by their parents in this study. The pattern of perceptually correcting deviations from normal weight was interpreted as a positivity bias among the parents. These results suggest that weight perception accuracy should be targeted in family-focused interventions in order to strengthen adequate weight control among young adolescents.
