Table 2. Logistic regression models evaluating the relationship between emotional eating and general parenting behaviors and specific feeding behaviors, among normal weight and overweight children, controlling for parent BMI.

| Psychological control | 1.15 (0.93, 1.41) | 0.20 | 0.95, (0.77, 1.17) | 0.62 |
| Firm control | 0.93 (0.73, 1.17) | 0.52 | 0.93 (0.69, 1.24) | 0.61 |
| Specific parent feeding behaviors: | ||||
| Restriction | 1.12 (0.99, 1.25) | 0.07 | 1.26 (1.02, 1.56) | 0.03 |
| Monitoring | 1.05 (0.85, 1.29) | 0.67 | 0.97 (0.65, 1.44) | 0.87 |
| Pressure to eat | 1.11 (0.92, 1.35) | 0.29 | 0.88 (0.70, 1.10) | 0.26 |
Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are shown. Separate models were conducted for normal weight and overweight groups. Data from the normal weight cohort were collected at a one-time visit in the lab, and data from the overweight group were collected at baseline prior to the start of the family-based weight loss treatment program.
