Influence of parent and educator feeding practices on child self-regulation

该项目旨在成为第一项研究，以调查在家中和幼儿教育和护理中经历一致和反应性喂养的儿童是否具有更高水平的自我调节，最佳饮食行为和饮食质量。该项目期望制定简单和低成本的策略，父母和教育工作者可以在吃饭时使用，以加强儿童的自我调节。在澳大利亚，有100万儿童在父母工作周期间接受照料，该项目的成果产生了广泛的效益。更高的自我调节能力可改善儿童的健康和福祉，并提供短期和长期的社会和经济效益，包括入学准备、学业成绩和劳动力参与。

This project aims to be the first study to investigate whether children who experience consistent and responsive feeding practices both at home and in early childhood education and care have higher levels of self-regulation, optimal eating behaviour and diet quality. The project expects to develop simple and low-cost strategies that parents and educators can use at mealtimes to enhance child self-regulation. With one million Australian children in care during their parent’s working week, outcomes of this project have widespread benefits. Higher self-regulation improves a child's health and well-being and provides short- and long-term social and economic benefits including school readiness, academic achievement and workforce participation.
