The Impact

This study examined the use of regulatory talk at dinnertime in twenty Swedish families with children between the ages of four and seventeen years. The aim of the study was to explore activity regulation in the light of contextual factors, such as the age of the participating children, the number of participants and the different kinds of conversational contexts. Regulatory talk extracted from twenty videotaped dinner conversations was transcribed, coded and analysed within the framework of theories about the impact of context on control acts, indirect speech and politeness. Regulatory utterances, about 7 % of all utterances produced by all family members, were mostly formulated as direct requests and about 15 % of them were mitigated, softening the impact of coerciveness. Indirect regulators occurred, however, in nearly one half of the cases whereas hints were rather uncommon. Age of the children, as well as activity and conversational context had an obvious impact on the way regulatory utterances were performed. Most instrumental regulators (related to the dinner routine) were direct (somewhat more than 60 %) and most non-instrumental regulators were indirect (nearly 60 %). Furthermore, the intended goal i.e. what action was required from the addressee seemed to affect the use of regulators: Regulation at the dinner table mostly concerned nonverbal actions and requests for objects and was related to the main activity. Compared with the American and Israeli groups in Blum-Kulka’s study (1997), the Swedish parents together tended to be more indirect but less mitigating. However, in instrumental contexts i.e. when regulating routine actions relating to the meal, most parental regulators were direct (60 %) whereas about 75 % of the utterances were indirect in non-instrumental contexts. A comparison of these findings with the data from Blum-Kulka (1997) and with other similar intercultural studies leads to the conclusion that situational factors, such as family structure, conversational genres and communicative goals, might have more impact on regulatory talk than socio-cultural background.

You're at the family dinner table. Your spouse worries that a friend's business is struggling. Then your son complains about his math homework and your inability to help, and your daughter asks when she will see her friends again. As the meal progresses, you can feel everyone becoming more and more anxious. Emotions are contagious. We automatically mimic each other's facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice. Next, we actually feel the emotions we mimicked and begin to act on them. Without our realizing what's happening, feelings can escalate, as we “catch” them from other people, who catch them back from us, in an increasing spiral. While emotions spread more easily in person, they also get transmitted through social media, phone calls, emails, and video chats. In fact, negative emotions related to isolation may make us even more susceptible. Luckily, knowledge is a form of inoculation. Just being aware of emotional contagion can reduce its negative effects. And positive emotions transfer just as easily as negative ones. The spread of positive emotions leads to greater cooperation, less conflict, and improved performance.

BACKGROUND Prior research around the home meal environment has demonstrated that family meals are associated with positive health outcomes for children and adolescents. Researchers have begun using direct observational methods to understand key aspects of family meals such as meal healthfulness and family meal frequency to explain the protective nature of family meals. Direct observational research, however, can be resource intensive and also burdensome for participants. Information about the number of days needed to sufficiently characterize typical meal healthfulness using direct observational research methods is needed. OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to produce guidance about the number of meals necessary to approximate typical meal healthfulness at the family dinner meal occasion in a direct observational, mixed methods study of the home food environment. METHODS Families were recruited between 2012-2013 from primary care clinics in the Minneapolis–St Paul metropolitan area (N=120). A total of 800 meals were collected as part of the Family Meals LIVE! mixed methods study. The Healthfulness of Meal Index was used to evaluate meal dietary healthfulness of foods served at 8 family meal occasions. Participating families were provided an iPad (Apple Inc) and asked to video-record 8 consecutive days of family dinner meals with a minimum of two weekend meals. After the meal, families completed a meal screener, which is a self-reported, open-ended measure of the foods served at the meal. RESULTS Weekend and weekday meals differed in their measurement of meal healthfulness, indicating that at least one weekday and one weekend day are necessary to approximate meal healthfulness. Single-day measurement mischaracterized the strength of the relationship between the quality of what was served and intake by almost 50%, and 3 to 4 observation days were sufficient to characterize typical weekly meal healthfulness (<i>r</i>=0.94; <i>P</i>&lt;.001). CONCLUSIONS Relatively few direct observational days of family meals data appear to be needed to approximate the healthfulness of meals across 1 week. Specifically, 1 weekday and 1 weekend observation are needed, including a total of 3 to 4 days of direct observational meal data. These findings may inform future direct observational study designs to reduce both research costs and participant burden in assessing features of the meal environment.

ABSTRAKDalam Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2013 di Indonesia, permasalahan gizi pada anak salah satunya adalah angka obesitas yang masih tinggi. Angka kejadian obesitas ini secara global akan meningkat dengan prediksi mencapai 9,1% atau sebanyak 60 juta anak pada tahun 2020. Obesitas tidak hanya merugikan secara fisik tetapi juga secara psikologis. Permasalahan psikologis yang dialami oleh anak-anak obesitas adalah body image discontent atau ketidakpuasan anak terhadap bentuk tubuhnya. Hal ini dapat terjadi sejak usia dini dikarenakan perlakuan bully dari pihak keluarga ataupun teman mengenai bentuk tubuhnya. Salah satu faktor yang berperan dalam kejadian obesitas adalah minimnya kontrol diri terkait perilaku makan. Perilaku makan yang dimaksud adalah mengonsumsi makanan yang tidak sehat (tinggi kalori) atau mengonsumsi makan dalam jumlah yang berlebihan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk memperbaiki kemampuan kontrol diri terkait perilaku makan pada anak obesitas usia 6 – 8 tahun. Teknik yang digunakan adalah dengan menggunakan metode penggolongan makanan (berdasarkan jenis, porsi, dan frekuensi) mengikuti aturan warna lampu lalu lintas yang disebut dengan ‘Lampu Lalu Lintas Makanku’. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain before-after experimentaldan dianggap dapat memperbaiki kontrol diri terkait perilaku makan pada anak obesitas usia 6 – 8 tahun dinilai dari perbaikan skor pre test dan post test partisipan.Kata kunci : intervensi, kontrol diri terkait perilaku makan, obesitas, anakABSTRACTBased on RisetKesehatanDasar 2013 in Indonesia, one of the nutritional problems in children was the high obesity rate. The incidence of obesity globally will increase with predictions reaching 9.1% or as many as 60 million children in 2020. Obesity is not only detrimental physically but also psychologically. Psychological problem experienced by obese children is body image discontent or their dissatisfaction with their body shape. This can occur from an early age due to bullying from the family or friends regarding to their body shape. One of the factors that play a role in obesity is the lack of self-control related to eating behavior. Eating behavior means consume unhealthy foods (high in calories) or consume excessive amounts of food. This study conducted with the aim of improving the ability of self control related to eating behavior in obese children aged 6-8 years. Food classification method (based on type, portion, and frequency) following the traffic light color rules called'LampuLaluLintasMakananku' is the technique that used. This study use before-after experimental design and considered to improve self-control related to eating behavior in obese children aged 6-8 years assessed from the improvement of participants' pre-test and post-test scores.Keywords: intervention, dietary self control, obesity, children

Do So

Humans are losing their tradition of the daily family meal. When everyone in the family works multiple jobs or keeps different schedules, when people never learned how to cook, or when there simply is no money to buy enough food, the challenge of keeping a family intact becomes greater. The family dinner, once a daily ritual in countries around the world, has become a historical relic as well as a cultural phenomenon among cultures that can sustain such a tradition. One can publish a book about the challenges of keeping the daily family dinner alive, or one can publish an encyclopedia of the typical daily family dinner traditions of every culture. While Dr. Ken Albala has the expertise and connections to accomplish both feats, he has struggled to do so in his latest edited volume At the Table: Food and Family around the World.

The Family

This chapter is an in-depth exploration of communication between parents and teens. This foundation becomes important when difficult topics like depression, substance use, or family conflict need to be discussed. Communication strategies, including open-ended questioning, validation, empathy, and optimal timing, are detailed. The chapter illustrates why lecturing and immediate problem-solving are not helpful. Assertive communication within the family is discussed as well as cultural barriers to effective communication. The skills of motivational interviewing are applied to parent–child interactions about decisions. The family dinner is examined as an opportunity for shared communication and connection. Divorce is seen as a severe breakdown in communication, with 25–30% of children suffering negative effects. Arizona State University’s New Beginning Program for parents going through a divorce is presented as a proactive model that has reduced psychological problems in children and emerging adults.
