The purpose of this research study is to determine the attitudes and belief of infant-toddler teachers in childcare centers towards responsive feeding style. The first 2 years of life are a critical window of childhood growth and development. Yet, 8.1% of US children age 2 years or under are at risk for obesity and adverse health outcomes. Childcare centers are important settings to promote children's healthy nutrition and development. A large number of US children attend organized childcare programs and receive nutrition there. Gaining a better understanding of teachers' thoughts and experiences with feeding very young children can allow for more tailored guidance and programs for childcare providers to support age-appropriate feeding.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
