Summary

This novel, timely, and theory-driven Food-Body-Mind intervention addresses the national emergency of mental health crises in early childhood. By targeting Head Start racially/ethnically diverse preschoolers from low-income backgrounds in both urban and rural areas, this intervention is expected to contribute toward reducing health disparities and promoting health equity, a major priority of the NIH and Healthy People 2030. If effective, it can be scalable to Head Start programs across urban and rural settings nationally with long-term sustainability benefits.

BEHAVIORAL

Food-Body-Mind Intervention

The Food-Body-Mind intervention includes 3 main components: 1) a school-based mindfulness component delivered by daycare teachers to equip preschoolers with knowledge and skills in mindful eating and movement (e.g., yoga, deep breathing exercises) to reduce emotional eating and increase F/V intake and physical activity; 2) a home-based mindfulness component to increase caregivers' skills in practicing mindful eating, movement, and parenting behaviors at home to foster a more positive, mindful, and healthy home environment; and 3) a preschooler school learning and caregiver home practice connection component to improve caregiver-preschooler relationships.
