Summary
Parental intuitive eating (IE) influences children's eating behaviors, weight concerns, and home food environments. Family cohesion and food security also impact child IE, suggesting a holistic approach to fostering healthy eating habits.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nutrition
- Behavioral Science
- Public Health
Background:
- Childhood eating behaviors are shaped by parental feeding, home environment, and role modeling.
- Intuitive eating (IE), or eating based on internal cues, is linked to improved health outcomes.
- Growing interest exists in the connection between parental and child intuitive eating.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize existing literature on the associations between parent and child intuitive eating.
- To identify key correlations and environmental factors influencing intuitive eating in children.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review was conducted using four major databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL).
- Keywords included "intuitive eating," "parents," and "children."
- Studies were included if they reported on parental/child IE and parent-child relationships, with 15 studies ultimately retained.
Main Results:
- Parental IE correlated with child feeding practices, weight concerns, and home food environment.
- Environmental factors like family cohesion and food security were associated with child IE components.
- A direct correlation was observed between parental and child intuitive eating.
Conclusions:
- Childhood intuitive eating is influenced by parental intuitive eating and the surrounding environment.
- Parental intuitive eating plays a significant role in shaping children's eating behaviors and related factors.
- Further high-quality research is needed to confirm these associations.

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

01:27Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition
102
Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
PN can be administered through two primary routes:
1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

01:23Binge Eating Disorders

Binge eating disorder is a significant mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food consumption within a short period, accompanied by a perceived loss of control over eating behavior. Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

01:30Regulation of Food Intake
193
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
