Mothers play a central role in shaping children's feeding environments. This study explored mothers' perceptions of eating and appetite behaviors in children aged 36 years, their feeding management strategies, and their evaluations of obesity risk within a cultural context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A phenomenologically oriented qualitative design within an interpretiveconstructivist paradigm was employed. Fifteen mothers of children aged 36 years attending a university hospital pediatric outpatient clinic in T\u00fcrkiye were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected via semi\u2010structured interviews and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis in accordance with COREQ guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four main themes and thirteen subthemes emerged: (1) obesity\u2010triggering eating behavior and appetite alongside an unhealthy lifestyle, (2) biopsychosocial effects of obesity on the child, (3) parenting role and difficulties in appetite control, and (4) strategies for obesity prevention and appetite management. Mothers identified processed food consumption, screen\u2010based eating, and inactivity as key risk factors. Difficulties in boundary\u2010setting, emotional feeding, and parental guilt were also prominent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Childhood obesity is a multifaceted condition shaped by children's appetite traits, parental practices, and environmental factors. Findings suggest that effective prevention requires not only individual\u2010level but also family\u2010 and environment\u2010level interventions. Pediatric nurses should integrate family\u2010centered, culturally sensitive approaches into early childhood obesity prevention by addressing parental feeding practices, emotional burden, and limit\u2010setting difficulties alongside children's dietary behaviors, with structured interventions targeting appetite education, parental role modeling, and screen time reduction during well\u2010child visits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/phn.70193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T04:34:18Z","timestamp":1790742858000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Eating Behaviors, Appetite, and Childhood Obesity in Early Childhood: A Qualitative Study of Mothers\u2019 Perceptions and Prevention Approaches"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"Musa","family":"\u00d6zsavran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Care and Youth Services, Ahmet Erdo\u011fan Vocational School of Health Services Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Zonguldak T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00d6zgur","family":"Bahad\u0131r","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Services and Techniques, Ahmet Erdo\u011fan Vocational School of Health Services Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Zonguldak T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Si\u011fnem Anol","family":"K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health and Diseases Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University  Zonguldak T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2016.11.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.61336\/jccp\/25\u201011\u201070"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889\u2010024\u201019227\u2010w"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare11030400"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","volume-title":"Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches","author":"Creswell J.
