Abstract
This study explores how food parenting practices are influenced by parental nutrition knowledge, attitudes toward school-based nutrition-related complementary programs, and parental involvement in school-based feeding programs for children. Effective food parenting practices are crucial in maintaining and enhancing the benefits of school-based nutrition programs, fostering sustained improvements in children's nutrition and overall health. A descriptive qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews was conducted among fifteen (15) mothers from three (3) barangays in the province of Cavite. Findings revealed that parents, despite their limited nutrition knowledge and passive engagement in SBFP and SBNRCP, managed to sustain their children's nutritional improvements through basic food parenting practices anchored in budget-conscious meal preparation. The research underscores the need for more effective nutrition education addressing knowledge gaps and families' broader socioeconomic challenges. Recommendations include future research on the long-term impact of school-based feeding programs, the utilization of digital tools for developing a broader reach of nutrition education, and the development of policies to reduce food insecurity and improve access to healthy and affordable food. KEYWORDS: food parenting, child nutrition, feeding program, dietary behavior, parental involvement, complementary nutrition programs, healthy eating, nutrition knowledge, and public health nutrition
