Abstract: Background: Effective childhood obesity prevention programs for preschool children are limited in number and focus on changes in the child care environment rather than the home environment. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to develop and test the feasibility of a home environment obesity prevention program that incorporates mindful eating strategies and social cognitive theory (SCT) constructs. Home Sweet Home (HSH) is specifically designed for rural parents and grandparents of preschool-age children. Methods: HSH was developed using community-based participatory research practices and constructs from SCT. Three community-based education sessions were delivered. Pre- and postintervention data were collected from 47 grandparents and mothers. Results: Three of the 4 selected behavioral outcomes improved between pre- and postintervention. The number of hours engaged in sedentary behaviors and intake of "red light" foods decreased and 3 of 4 mindful eating scores increased. Graduates of the program were able to decrease the number of red light foods available in their homes. Discussion: Improvements in mindful eating and several key behaviors were observed after a 3-week mindful eating/home environment intervention. Translation to Health Education Practice: Health Educators should incorporate mindful eating strategies and use SCT when designing childhood obesity prevention programs.
