The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relationship between maternal feeding practices and children's eating problems. Mothers of 292 children aged 5.9 ± 1.1, 50% boys, reported online on parental authority, overt and covert control of the child's food choices, child feeding practices, and their child's problematic eating behavior. Structural equation modelling yielded a model with excellent indices of fit (χ (2)  (52) = 50.72, p = 0.56; normed fit index (NFI) = 0.94; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.001). The model showed that an authoritarian maternal authority style was associated with overt control, which was associated with maternal tendency to pressure children to eat and with maternal restriction of highly processed or calorie-rich snack foods. These, in turn, were positively associated with the child's satiety response, food fussiness, and slow eating, and negatively with the child's enjoyment of food. In contrast, a permissive maternal authority style was associated with covert control of the child's eating, concern over the child being overweight, and the restriction of highly processed and calorie-rich snack foods, which were in turn positively associated with the child's emotional overeating and the child's food responsiveness. The model seems to tap into two distinct patterns of mother-child feeding and eating dynamics, apparently related to children with opposing appetitive tendencies.
