Mothers of 174 children aged 2 to 12, completed a questionnaire and more. A greater percentage of parents with younger children rated their child as ‘œjust as’ or ‘œa little more’ active than their peers as compared to the percentage of parents with older children. Additionally, parents reported that the older children watched significantly more hours of TV on weekend days than the younger children. Taken together, these findings suggest that parent reporting of behaviors commonly believed to promote childhood obesity increases with older children.
