Description

Parents  influence their children’s obesity risk through feeding behaviours and modeling of weight-related behaviours. However, little is known about how factors in the general home environment may influence children’ s weight. With many Canadian children consuming poor diets and not meeting the guidelines for screen time or physical activity, perhaps it is time to take a step back. Before focusing on guidelines, it may be important to examine the home environment and family wellbeing. In this webinar, join Kathryn Walton, Registered Dietitian and PhD Candidate at the University of Guelph, as she explores how parenting stress, chaos and family functioning are associated with children’s healthy behaviours and weight outcomes.
