OBJECTIVES: To conceptualize and pilot test a programme of three workshops aiming to prevent the development of overweight in susceptible preschool @entity1 . METHODS: Three workshops were conducted, targeting both parents and @entity1 . The curriculum for parents included discussions on feeding responsibilities, healthy eating, taste development, neophobia and physical activity recommendations. @entity1 participated in various play activities with fruits and vegetables and read stories about hunger and satiety feelings. Recruitment was organized through paediatricians and @entity1 -care centres. Evaluation of the programme focused on feasibility, adequacy for @entity1 's age, parents' perception of impact and, for @entity1 , change of the ability to recognize and willingness to taste fruits and vegetables. RESULTS: A total of 21 @entity1 and one of their parents participated in the programme. The programme was found to be feasible and adequate for the targeted community. Parents reported perceiving a positive impact of the intervention; however, this finding was not statistically significant. The major difficulty was identifying and recruiting families and engaging the parents in a discussion about weight. CONCLUSIONS: This short programme aiming to improve parents' ability to offer healthy environment and promote healthy eating behaviour was feasible and acceptable for families with young @entity1 . When developing and implementing such programmes, close collaboration with paediatricians and other health providers should be sought in order to identify and reach @entity1 at risk of @entity28 and their family.
