aP value reflects the significance in the change scores between the Generations group versus the Usual OOSP activities group based on a two-sample t test

bFor screen time and child’s nutrition knowledge, n = 11 for Generations and n = 10 for Usual Care groups

cFor kcal, BMI, and zBMI, and HEI, n = 11 for Generations and n = 11 for Usual Care groups

dFor MVPA vars, n = 10 for both Generations and Usual Care groups

eFor sleep efficiency and wake after sleep onset, n = 8 for Generations and n = 10 for Usual Care Groups
