Defining Parenting Practices for Reducing Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption Among Preschoolers

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print.
While attempts have been made to organize parenting practices in a working system, there are problems that make it difficult to understand how parenting is related to children’s eating behaviors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of a new instrument evaluating parenting practices toward sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) using the nine intervention functions of the Behavior Change Wheel. Each intervention function (education, persuasion, incentivization, coercion, training, restriction, environmental restructuring, modeling, and enablement) was applied to a parenting practice for having a preschooler consume no more than 8 oz of SSBs per week. A survey was developed to evaluate each practice. Forty-eight parents of preschoolers (2–5 years old) completed the survey, and the most utilized practices were modeling, creating a supportive home environment, persuading children, and restricting SSBs. The framework presented in this study can be useful for determining which parenting practices are acceptable and effective for promoting health behaviors among children.
