IntroductionThis paper will address the issues that come with different parenting styles and how it affects their children’s life quality in general but especially their physical health. Do overweight children have less of a social life when compared to children who do not have a weight problem? Also, how do parenting styles affect the child’s weight? When people think about obesity, parents are usually the main target. One of the main aims of this paper will examine the existing literature regarding parenting styles and their feeding styles, also the food that is consumed by the children’s role models (Mobley & Vollmer, 2013).

Maybe one of the parents is a healthy eater while the other parents don’t really give importance to their diet. Literature review and Annotated Bibliography According to Pediatr (2015), Worldwide,3.4million adults die every year as a result of being overweight or obese.
