title = "Children's food, power and control: Negotiations in families with younger children in England",
abstract = "This article focuses on children's food in families and the power relations in which it is embedded. Drawing on paired interviews with parents and younger children in a qualitative sample (N = 47), and taking a case approach, the article analyses ways in which power and control are negotiated in parent-child relationships in relation to food. Types and extent of control over children's eating are described, and the importance of resources and parents' conceptions of 'the child' considered. In distinction to polarized debates about who does, or should, control children's food in families, the article notes considerable variation between families.",

note = "Funding Information: The study which is the focus of this article was funded as a collaborative grant between the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2009 (RES-190-25-0010). On 1 October 2010, responsibility for nutrition policy transferred from the FSA to the Department of Health (DH). As a result, the research project also transferred to the DH. The authors would like to thank colleagues at HNR (Human Nutrition Research) and NatCen for their help in drawing a sample from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, their co-researchers (Ann Mooney, Abigail Knight, Charlie Owen and Antonia Simon) and of course the families who generously gave their valuable time to participate in the study.
