To describe parent communication about child nutrition-related topics with family child care providers (FCCPs).
Five focus groups conducted from December, 2016 to July, 2017.
Parents (n = 25) of 2- to 5-year-old children attending family child care homes in Rhode Island.
How and what parents communicate about with FCCPs related to feeding young children.
Recordings were transcribed verbatim. Two independent coders employed content analysis to analyze transcripts. Reflections, emerging themes, and final themes were discussed.
Participants were recruited through FCCPs and were mostly Hispanic and female. Parents mainly communicated with FCCPs in person. Communication with FCCPs related to how and what children were fed did not occur frequently, and parents usually inquired about how much children ate.
Parents did not engage in frequent child nutrition-related communication with their FCCP. However, parents trusted FCCPs to provide healthy and sufficient food to children. More research is needed to identify effective strategies that facilitate child nutrition communication between parents and FCCPs.
描述家长与家庭儿童保育员（FCCP）就儿童营养相关话题进行的沟通。
2016 年 12 月至 2017 年 7 月进行了 5 次焦点小组。
在罗德岛家庭儿童保育家中照顾 2 至 5 岁儿童的家长（n=25）。
家长与 FCCP 就喂养幼儿进行沟通的方式和内容。
对录音进行逐字转录。两名独立的编码员采用内容分析法对转录本进行分析。对反思、主题的发展和最终主题进行了讨论。
参与者通过 FCCP 招募，主要是西班牙裔和女性。家长主要与 FCCP 进行面对面的沟通。与 FCCP 进行的关于儿童喂养方式和内容的沟通并不频繁，家长通常询问儿童的进食量。
家长与 FCCP 之间没有进行频繁的儿童营养相关沟通。然而，家长信任 FCCP 为孩子提供健康和充足的食物。需要进一步研究以确定促进家长与 FCCP 之间儿童营养沟通的有效策略。
