Group nutrition sessions
The intervention will consist of 6 nutrition group sessions co-led by parent and a professional from the community who will rotate at each session. Group nutrition sessions will consist of a facilitated discussion of benefits and barriers to healthy eating, a short lesson led by the content expert, and a fun game or activity to reinforce the lesson. Three non-concurrent phases of the study will compare the efficacy of the group sessions when offered biweekly (Arm 1), monthly (Arm 2) and weekly (Arm 3).
Fitbit
Parent and child dyads will each receive a Fitbit Flex wearable device at the second session. This device will be used by participants and investigators to motivate and track participants' physical activity for up to 9 months.
