Children's Wellness 2006: At the Intersection of Hope & Anxiety
Hartman Group, The, Jan 2006, Pages: 95
This study, which is national in scope and conducted using primary ethnographic research, is informed by many years spent documenting the lifestyle, shopping, purchase and usage habits of American consumers with regard to notions of 'health,' 'wellness' and 'healthy living.'
Children's Wellness 2006 depicts how families are evolving within the constantly changing world of health lifestyles, and how consumers shop and care for themselves and their children in ever more unique and individualized ways. Specifically, our research has revealed a complex world of human behaviour characterized by ideology, belief, desire and, of course, practice: 'At the intersection of hope & anxiety' reflects the cross-roads both parents and children feel themselves at today as they live, shop and use a wide variety of products and services.
Methodology: Over 200 hours of nationwide, in-depth interviews. The qualitative and ethnographic methods used included a unique combination of practices, including: In-Home Interviews, Social Network Parties, Family Encounters and Language Analysis.
The study finds:
- Children are playing an increasingly significant role in forming household attitudes and behaviours about health and wellness. In fact, in some households, children are more aware, informed and involved than their parents in dietary and nutritional practices and standards, much of which derives from exposure to information distributed within schools and in the media.
- Children begin making their own choices, and in many cases purchase decisions, about health and wellness products around the age of 10. At this juncture, parents' roles typically begin to shift from guardians to partners in health and wellness.
- Today most parents believe they have 'adequate' control over their children's health and wellness in the home environment (i.e., control of food, personal care products, home cleaning products, air and water filtration, etc.). However, outside of the home environment, parents feel out of control, worried and frustrated by the limited array of choices that are currently available to their children (e.g., in schools, restaurants, after-school or day care programs, etc.).
