Parent-led behavioral strategies

Intervention parents participated in an additional 20-25-min segment led by the nutrition educator during which the week's behavioral strategy was introduced. The following six behavioral strategies were introduced (one each week) as a segment of each cooking skills session: 1) have your child help prepare vegetables for meals (Child Help), 2) use a plate that shows the amount of vegetables to include for a meal (My Plate), 3) make vegetables visible and accessible by removing other foods from the dining area during the meal and leaving the vegetables (Make Avail/Visible), 4) serve at least 2 vegetables with the meal (Serve 2), 5) serve vegetables before the meal (Serve First), and 6) use a bigger spoon to serve the vegetables (Big Spoon).
