The investigators will enroll parents and their children with 3 to 6 years old, identified by family doctors or nurses at well‐child care visits as overweight/obese for age. Participant's eligibility will be assessed. Participants will be randomized to: 1) control group; 2) intervention group. The control group will receive treatment as usual. Parents in the intervention group will be provided with the app and invited to use it for 4 weeks. During the 4 weeks, the administrator monitors the app usage and call once to parents to improve it, if needed. Both groups will perform a pre‐ and post‐test, evaluating parent's perceptions and attitudes regarding children's weight status and food intake; eating behaviors and parental child‐feeding practices.
