• Puberty, a time when young people are developing
  values and habits that can last a lifetime, is
  also a period during which many young people are
  increasingly choosing a sedentary lifestyle over
  an active one.

  decisive role in modeling healthy or unhealthy
  lifestyle behaviors for their children far in
  advance of these critical adolescent years.
  Indeed, eating habits are formed early in life,
  and both eating and activity patterns mirror
  family of origin patterns.
