It’s been said, and many have borne witness to the fact that today’s teenagers apparently don’t like to move. Perfectly content with stay-in-the-house activities, compounded by recent years of lockdowns, parents of the world would like to see their kids get out and do something.
Convincing them is not so easy. According to a study by IFOP (April 2022), one-third of mothers declare themselves to be in a state of parental burn-out.
In response to this Santé Publique France has tapped creative agency, Romance, to help parents deal with their immovable offspring.
The campaign includes a funny film directed by Julie Navarro highlighting the uphill “no” battle parents are up against.
“Various studies on physical activity in children and teenagers show that parental support has a major influence on physical activity. So, we had to find a way to address parents to help them encourage their teenagers to be more active,” said Anne-Juliette Serry, head of the nutrition and physical activity unit at Santé publique France.
“Faced with this exhaustion, only an emphatic discourse that recognizes the daily efforts of parents will be able to remobilize them,” added Jérôme Lavillat, strategy director at the Romance agency.
