The parental role in the development of children’s healthy breakfast behaviors is not questioned . Pearson et al. report in their review on family correlates of breakfast consumption that parental breakfast intake is associated with the breakfast intake of their children . Furthermore, they found out that living in two-parent families also has a positive influence on children’s and adolescent’s breakfast consumption . The research from Wendy & Campbell also shows that children with single parents are more likely to skip breakfast than those with two parents . These findings confirm the results of the present study that also found evidence for a relation between family structures and skipping breakfast. Therefore, it is important to consider family structures of the children when designing programs to promote healthy breakfast behavior’s.
