Background: Few studies have examined the relationship between temperament and eating self-regulation in early childhood, despite emerging evidence for associations with pediatric obesity.
Method: The aim of this exploratory report was to examine the associations between three eating behaviors and three facets of temperament among 4- to 8-year-olds with or at risk for obesity.
Results: Among 28 participants in a family intervention to reduce eating speed, we found at baseline that slower child eating speed was associated with less surgency (r = -.39, p = .04) and higher food responsiveness was associated with higher negative affect (r = .40, p = .03).
Conclusions: These findings support the potential yield of integrating temperament with eating self-regulation assessments in studies of early obesity risk. A better understanding is needed regarding ways in which parents differentially feed in response to child temperament.

This experiment evaluated the effects of bovine appeasing substance (BAS) administration at feedlot entry on growth, temperament, inflammation, response to vaccination, behavior, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of beef heifers. Thirty heifers were weaned and assigned to (d 0): (1) BAS (n = 15; SecureCattle; IRSEA Group) or (2) Saline (n = 15). On d 0, heifers were also vaccinated against respiratory diseases and slaughtered on d 150.

Article Synopsis
- * The study utilized advanced neuroimaging techniques to analyze brain structure in 91 adolescent ED patients and 48 healthy controls, linking specific brain microstructural patterns to different behavioral profiles.
- * A key finding was that an 'undercontrolled' behavioral profile, marked by high emotional dysregulation and low self-control, correlated with neurological changes in white matter tracts, especially in regions associated with emotional regulation, highlighting the significance of brain-behavior interactions in EDs for future clinical applications.

Objectives: This study investigates the association between dietary intake and ADHD diagnosis and its dimensions in adolescents.
Methods: In the KOALA Birth Cohort Study, 810 adolescents aged 16 to 20 years provided information on ADHD diagnosis and completed a food frequency questionnaire. Dietary patterns were extracted using Principal Component Analysis.

Article Synopsis
- - Understanding the origins of Eating in the Absence of Hunger (EAH) is important for addressing weight gain in childhood, and this study focused on toddlers to examine the links between EAH and parental feeding practices, especially instrumental feeding.
- - The study involved 66 parents and toddlers, assessing EAH through a lab paradigm, while parents reported on feeding practices, children's temperament, and food accessibility, with the children's height and weight measured to calculate BMI.
- - Findings revealed that toddlers' EAH wasn't influenced by instrumental feeding or their temperament, but there was a positive correlation with parental restrictions for health reasons, particularly when food was more accessible, indicating that controlling food access may help manage EAH in early childhood.
