Group	Intervention	Description
m-health approach	m-health approach	All dyads will receive the m-health approach.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Child Acceptability of the mHealth Approach	13 Weeks	Children completed an acceptability survey at the end of the intervention that included Likert scales on intervention satisfaction. The items were average to calculate an average acceptability score. The scale range for the average total score is 1 to 5. A higher score indicates higher acceptability.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
BMI Z-score Change	Week 0 to Week 14-16	Objectively measured height and weight were compared against the normative values for age (months) and sex according to the CDC growth charts. A z-score is assigned, with 0 representing the population mean. A positive z-score indicates a BMI above the population mean (higher relative weight), whereas a negative z-score is below the population mean (lower relative weight). For the change score, the post BMI z-score measured at week 14-16 was subtracted from the baseline BMI z-score. For the change score, a positive value indicates an increase in relative weight, whereas a negative value indicates a reduction in relative weight.
