TO help parents identify ways to make family life healthier, more than 11 million copies of the questionnaire How Are The Kids? are being distributed throughout the country.

It is a simple questionnaire that will help you get the right advice for your family. The questions are designed to give you a picture of a typical day in your child’s life, as far as eating and activity goes. For example, ‘What did you have for breakfast today? or ‘What did your kids do at playtime?’

After you fill it in you send your answers freepost back to Change4Life and you’ll receive a plan of action specially tailored to your family needs, full of handy hints to get your kids being more active and eating healthier food. They’re really easy to follow and are designed to fit into busy lives.

Millions of copies are being sent out to homes, schools, pharmacies, GP surgeries and post offices. You can also complete the survey online.
