ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at the contribution that parents can make to health and well-being in schools. Children and young people spend only a limited amount of their time at school, and families not only influence what children do when they are not at school, but also shape their attitudes to and understanding of a range of issues, including health and well-being. Much more can be achieved with regard to children and young people’s health and wellbeing when schools and parents work together.
