Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Background Life is in constant change and affects our habits. In many ways this is positive but it also contributes to less favorable health factors. For example, take the car instead of cycling, take the lift instead of the stairs. This makes us less active in everyday life. Individuals also eat more unhealthy foods in larger portions. In combination with genetics, social in heritage and surrounding factors this contributes to increase overweight and obesity among children not only in adults but also in children.
Good treatment methods for childhood obesity are lacking, making prevention very important. The earlier good habits are introduced to a child the better it is.
In Early STOPP project we study food, physical activity and sleep habits in the families with a little child. The height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure will be recorded in both child and parents. The parents will answer questionnaires about food, physical activity and sleeping habits for both the child and themselves. During the study, the child's physical activity will be measured.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Low intensity arm
Written information about a healthy lifestyle
Dietary, physical activity and sleeping
The intervention in the present study will be delivered through sessions aiming at developing healthy lifestyle habits regarding physical activity, food intake and regular sleeping habits for parents and children. These sessions will be performed face to face by trained health care workers and carried out in the welfare centres with the parent/s. Children will not be approached directly in the present study. All families will meet with their coach/facilitator during at least 12 times (including start and final evaluation meeting) until the children reach 6 years of age (such as school age). However extra effort (as boosting sessions) will be made if growth records show an increased BMI (weight induced meetings). The parents are also encouraged to keep contact with their coach either by phone or e-mail as often as they feel needed.
The Low intensity arm will only receive written information and no direct face to face support
High intensity arm
Lifestyle support (PA, sleep, food intake) using MI
Dietary, physical activity and sleeping
The intervention in the present study will be delivered through sessions aiming at developing healthy lifestyle habits regarding physical activity, food intake and regular sleeping habits for parents and children. These sessions will be performed face to face by trained health care workers and carried out in the welfare centres with the parent/s. Children will not be approached directly in the present study. All families will meet with their coach/facilitator during at least 12 times (including start and final evaluation meeting) until the children reach 6 years of age (such as school age). However extra effort (as boosting sessions) will be made if growth records show an increased BMI (weight induced meetings). The parents are also encouraged to keep contact with their coach either by phone or e-mail as often as they feel needed.
The Low intensity arm will only receive written information and no direct face to face support
