ABSTRACT
This article describes lessons from the feasibility testing of a parent-focused, life skills-based intervention to promote healthy weight in 58 low-income children aged 2 to 5 years. This intervention was feasible and acceptable, with a potential to impact child weight and diet (calories) and parental quality of life (QOL). The group delivery approach through a partnering organization (Head Start) was a more efficient way to reach/engage parents. Compared with one-on-one sessions, the group could provide an avenue to enhance parental psychosocial well-being, given QOL improvements among parents in group sessions. Lessons will inform future research to test the effectiveness of life skills interventions.
