They must live close enough to the University of Michigan to travel there. Children with developmental delays or health issues affecting appetite or growth cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study investigates how early eating behaviors affect diet, behavior, and growth later at school age. It involves around 400 participants (200 child/parent pairs) engaging in food-related activities and completing questionnaires over time.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on observing behaviors rather than testing a medical intervention, it does not have side effects like those associated with medications. However, participation may involve time commitment and potential stress from clinical visits.
