Childhood Obesity Levels Due in Part
to Discipline Methods of Parents - Study
Victorian researchers say that while many parents are concerned about
childrens physical activity levels, their parenting strategies are often
counterproductive

Australian children are becoming overweight and obese in part because
their parents are disciplining them in ways counterproductive to good
health, a new report has found.
.
The VicHealth research was conducted by the Centre for Physical Activity
at Deakin University, and analysed existing studies about why children are
becoming heavier.
.
It found the family environment was the most important factor in
determining childrens physical activity levels, with parental habits
greatly impacting their children.
.
The leader of the research, Associate Professor Anna Timperio, said while
parents were concerned by their childrens overuse of electronic media and
time spent watching television, their parenting strategies were sometimes
inconsistent with those concerns.
.
Parents say they are concerned about kids who sit for long periods of time
without moving, but they may also allow these devices in their childs
bedroom, and we know having a television in the bedroom is associated with
having a higher body mass index, she said.
.
Parents might also allow children to eat in front of the TV or use screen
time as a reward for good behaviour, which doesnt promote physical
activity and can normalise screen time.
.
Almost one in four Australian children are overweight or obese, while one
in three are expected to be by 2025, the report said. One in five children
get the recommended hour of physical activity every day, and fewer than
one in three met the recommendation for daily screen time limits, it said.
.
Parents who ate breakfast, exercised, or had meals together as a family
tended to have children who ate more fruit and vegetables and who were
also more physically active, the report found.
