@Dr_BeckB @qut_ihbi Thank you!!! It is great to be back!! :) :)

Welcome @MSomaraki to @qut_ihbi ! Maria is #brisbane for three months while we work together on an analysis of #eatingbehaviour in #earlychildhood. It is a bit warmer here than #Sweden ☀️⛈😀

So great to meet !! @brittanyjayne8

Next month I am presenting our recent findings during a poster presentation. How do parents change their feeding practices in response to early obesity treatment? How do parent and child behaviours interact to influence changes in child weight? #SciCommGra18

Mothers respond to child eating behaviours. Maternal concern about child weight plays a mediating role. #SciCommGra18

Mothers been abroad exert a higher degree of control over their children’s eating compared to mothers born in Sweden. We need a better understanding of the reas an underlying these differences. #SciCommGra18

Treating obesity in young children has a positive and sustained effect on weight reductions. How does the intervention work? We need to further examine the role of parents. #SciCommGra18

My thesis is about parent and child relationships during mealtimes. These complex interactions affect child eating habits and the development of obesity early in life. #SciCommGra18

Last Wednesday I presented my halftime seminar in Uppsala. Now getting ready for Granada! #SciCommGra18 See you there!!
