Modern civilizations are experiencing an increase in non-communicable diseases due to unhealthy diets and inactivity. This paper investigates how parents influence their kids' choices of diet and activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle. When attempting to promote children's health and avoid obesity, health professionals must consider parents' attitudes on diet and exercise. To overcome these implications, a qualitative study with an ethnographic foundation used in-depth semi-structured conversations with 50 parents of children aged 6-8 (35 mothers and 15 fathers). Parents were worried about their kids' low food consumption, the emergence of eating disorders, and their "too active" lifestyles. Because they believed that kids wouldn't eat enough to support healthy development, they encouraged eating and were in control of diet. Because they believed their kids were already active, they did not encourage or even restrict physical activity. According to their statements, they were unaware of the risks associated with excessive consumption and inactivity. Parents' perceptions influenced the choices they made for their children along with the manner they raised. Public health goals to limit intake and increase exercise conflict with parents' worries about under eating and over activity
