Area of Research

My research focuses on the relationship between parenting, child eating and activity, child weight and child psychosocial wellbeing. Currently, I am using a nationally representative dataset from a study titled “The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children” to clarify the nature of the relationship between parenting style and child weight. Further to this, my research project will be investigating the practices parents use to influence their children's eating and activity, and how these parenting strategies impact on child outcomes of weight and wellbeing.
