Objective.
To evaluate parents’ beliefs and practices related to childhood obesity and determine if these are influenced by parent’s perception of their own weight or their child’s weight.
Methods.
Parents of obese ( n = 689 ) or normal weight ( n = 1122 ) children 4–15 years in Georgia, USA, were randomly selected to complete a telephone survey.
Frequency of child obesity-related perceptions, beliefs, and practices were assessed, stratified by parent-perceived self-weight and child weight status, and compared using Chi-squared tests and multivariate logistic regression.
Results.
Most parents, regardless of perceived child weight, agreed that child overweight/obesity can cause serious illness (95%) but only one-half believed it was a problem in Georgia.
Many (42.4%) failed to recognize obesity in their own children.
More parents who perceived their child as overweight versus normal weight reported concern about their child’s diet and activity and indicated readiness for lifestyle change.
Parents’ perception of their own weight had little additional impact.
Conclusions.
While awareness of child overweight as a modifiable health risk is high, many parents fail to recognize it in their own families and communities, reducing the likelihood of positive lifestyle change.
Additional efforts to help parents understand their role in facilitating behavior change and to assist them in identifying at-risk children are required.
