Appetite
Litchford et al. (2020)
A growing body of research indicates that fathers play a key role in influencing child eating behaviors. Father's dietary intake, parenting style, nutritional beliefs and food availability at home were predictive of child's dietary intake and eating behaviors. Congruent parenting by mothers and fathers produced the best child food choices.
