Description
This study will examine how children's eating habits, physical activity, and decision making change as they grow older. This will be done through 12 laboratory sessions over 3 years where parents will fill out questionnaires and have their height and weight taken. Children will also have their height and weight taken. After this, children will be asked to make choices about hypothetical money, and play a computer game to earn points to eat food and play with an activity. We will ask about children's eating habits, and usual screen-time habits.
