Toddlers who have poor relationships with their moms are more likely to pack on extra pounds as they grow up, a new U.S. study shows. Tracking nearly 1,000 kids into their teens, researchers found more than a quarter of those who scored lowest on mother-child relationship tests as toddlers went on to become obese at age 15. By contrast, only 13 percent of the children who had a good relationship with their mother became obese. While that doesn’t prove cause and effect, researchers say other work has shown links between children’s emotional and intellectual development and how they interact with their mother at a young age.
