    Introduction: Childhood obesity is presented as a serious health problem worldwide. Its prevention is a priority, being mindful eating a key strategy that promotes healthy relationships of children with food. This approach encourages mindfulness when eating, which improves self-regulation and reduces emotional eating. However, despite positive results, evidence is scarce.Objective: To identify the role of parents and/or primary caregivers in the establishment of healthy eating patterns and habits in children, from the mindful eating approach.Material and Methods: Scoping review based on the JBI and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. We included studies published between 2010 and 2024 that addressed the role of parents in establishing mindful eating practices in children. Data selection and cleaning was performed through Rayyan. Results: Nine studies were included. The interventions addressed mindful eating and it was reported that this practice improves eating habits in children, reduces consumption of unhealthy foods and they are more open to try new foods. At the international level, WHO and UNICEF initiatives promote similar strategies for the prevention of childhood obesity.Conclusion: Evidence suggests that mindful eating is effective in the prevention of childhood obesity. However, more research is needed on its long-term effects and its adaptation to diverse sociocultural contexts.
