Participants will be eligible for inclusion if they currently live in Australia, are able to read and write in English, have a mobile phone that can access the internet and care for a child that is 12-36 months old and lives with them at least half of the time.
Because the intervention has been developed to address the concerns of parents whose children display developmentally typical eating behaviours and have no co-existing conditions that present additional nutritional risk, participants will also excluded if they indicate that their child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, learning difficulties, avoidant/restrictive intake disorder, or a condition that requires them to follow special dietary requirements (e.g. type 1 diabetes, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, or metabolic conditions).
