The goal of the body kind study is to develop a resource for parents and Early Childhood Teachers in Aotearoa to help them raise tamariki who love their bodies and who learn healthy eating habits that last a lifetime. 

To begin this journey, we want to hear from parents with children aged 1 – 5years to help us understand how parents in Aotearoa think, feel and talk about eating and body image with their preschool children. 

To have your voice heard, take part in our national survey here.

This study is a PhD project within the Department of Nutrition & Dietetics at the University of Auckland.
