Dr Rebecca Byrne ARC DECRA success
Congratulations to Dr Rebecca Byrne who was awarded the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award for her project in ‘Understanding the combined influence of parental and educator feeding practices on self-regulation of children attending early childhood education and care’. Responsive feeding practices are important in promoting healthy eating habits in young children. Dr Byrne’s research will investigate how consistent responsive feeding practices at home and early education and care setting impact children’s self-regulation, eating behaviour and diet quality.
