Researchers
measuring parental feeding behaviors
have focused almost entirely on feeding
practices and categorized them using
Baumrind’s authoritarian, authoritative,
and permissive categories based on face
validity.8
In the feeding domain, demandingness
or limit setting refers to how much
the parent limits children’s food and drink
proportions and intake, whereas responsiveness
refers to how the parents encourage
eating and involve children when
making food/drink choices
