The study used purposive sampling to interview 40 elementary school-age children (6-11 years old) and their primary food-shopping mothers from low- and middle-income households. Separate face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with each parent and child, using food receipts from the previous week to identify purchased items. The findings suggest children are thoughtful in their approach to acquiring desired foods, which has implications for understanding family food purchasing dynamics and designing interventions.
