Synopsis:

The study showed that parents were not good at assessing their child’s weight status and had a limited understanding of the present and future consequences of their child being overweight or obese. They were however motivated to implement a healthy diet and exercise to their child’s daily routine but felt more confident with the former.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the extent to which parental understanding and motivation influence their efforts to manage the obese child; with special emphasis on eating habits and physical activity.
