I'm curious to know about the relationship may exist among physical activity of obese children (with obese mother), family income and TGMD-2 scores. Also, compare their motor development with obese children (with normal weight mother).
Hello Saeed,
I found an informative article concerning motor coordination of obese children and an intervention that involved parents. The link is given below. There is also another article entitled, Obesity and motor skills among 4 to 6-year-old children in the united states: nationally-representative surveys provided below.

Dear Saeed,
I found a paper, published in the American Academy of Pediatrics, about parental obesity and early childhood developent, that you may find helpful.

There is also a study from National Institute of Health which indicates that parental obesity is linked to delays in child development.
