Resumo

Summary Dietary habits learnt during childhood form the foundations for behaviour throughout the rest of life. With the ever‐increasing challenge of childhood overweight and obesity, finding ways to promote healthy behaviours in the family environment is a key factor in both the prevention and treatment of these conditions. This study was carried out by Kellogg's in order to explore barriers to healthy eating and physical activity and to identify possible triggers to participation in these health behaviours. This article provides a review of the study, and outlines its key findings and their implications for healthcare professionals.
