Statistically significant pathways in bidirectional models for relations among maternal-reported structure-related feeding practices: family meal setting (a), structured meal setting (b), structured meal timing (c), and covert restriction (d) and child satiety responsiveness and food responsiveness between child ages 2, 3.7 and 5 years (N = 207). Models were adjusted for child BMI z-score at 14 months (not shown to enhance readability). All potential cross-lagged paths from child eating behaviours to maternal feeding practices and vice versa were estimated but only statistically significant path estimates (p < .05) are shown here. Coefficients are standardised. Model fit across the four models was good and ranged from: x2= 27.78 to 37.41, df = 18 to 20, RMSEA = 0.05 to 0.07, CFI = 0.97 to 0.99
