Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Parents are beyond 21 years old and have 4-6-year-old children. Selection of this child's age range was based on two factors. First of all, the age ranges from 4 to 6 have been found to be a strong predictor of future health. Secondly, a significant barrier to healthy DB is food neophobia, commonly known as picky or fussy eating, a reluctance, fear, or refusal to have new foods that is common in young children aged from 4 to 7.5 years.
- Parental commitment to participate in the overall 6-month intervention.
- Parents have access to mobile technology.
- Parents and children must be healthy (refer to a state of physical, mental, social, intellectual, and emotional well-being and the absence of disease) and can participate in normal PA.
- Parents must reside with participating child for at least four days a week (for the children to be adequately exposed to the intervention that parents may implement).
Exclusion
- if they meet the WHO criteria for preschool age children in terms of PA (i.e., 180 minutes of in a variety of PA at any intensity, of which 60 minutes is MVPA), sedentary behaviors (i.e., no more than 1 hour at a time being sedentary such as sit in car, no more than 1 hour per day in screen time such as TV, phone, and computer), DB (such as daily salt intake should be less than 5g), and sleep time (i.e., over 10 hours good quality sleep including nap, with regular sleep and wake time).
- they diagnosed with neurological or physically disable and children who have a parent suffering from a serious physical or psychological disease making the study too demanding for the family will be excluded from the study.
- if they have special dietary requirements or allergies that would necessitate the tailoring intervention or that may be adversely affected by the intervention.
