Health & Child

As parents, it is important for you to support your child as they grow up in a health-conscious way and help them to stay healthy, become self-confident and resilient.

A healthy lifestyle and physical and mental well-being do not necessarily come automatically, especially during periods of major change. The phase from teenager to adult is one that is characterized by experimentation and trial and error. The first beer, the first all-nighters, the first self-created dishes with friends and the first dramas in relationships and with friends. Much of what young people try out during this time does not necessarily fall into the "healthy" category - both in terms of nutrition and mental health. But many things are (in moderation) part of growing up.

As a parent, how can you help your child develop an understanding of a balanced diet and a good level of exercise? How can you help them to deal responsibly with stress and pressure?
