In the context of deep social and economic transformations in the country, the contradiction between the growing need of the society for active and healthy people and the catastrophic deterioration of children’s health becomes more acute. Complex studies show that the chronic pathology of schoolchildren is at an extremely high level. Against the backdrop of social insecurity, the problem of alcoholization and drug addiction of children and adolescents is growing, which poses a threat of moral decay to young people. Children’s health is affected by a number of negative factors: a decline in the standard of living in the country as a whole, a widespread deterioration of the environmental situation, and negative changes in the financial situation and the educational potential of the family. Unfortunately, the share of guilt for the current situation today is assigned to the school, which does not meet the modern requirements of hygiene and natural sciences of age physiology, causes disruption of adaptation, chronic fatigue of children and provokes the growth of diseases. Educational potential of school is considerably reduced: “...educational practice stays in a condition of influence on it of casual reference points, elements of positive, and even more negative, influences and uncontrollability”. In these conditions, the problem of maintaining health and education for a healthy lifestyle in schoolchildren is of particular interest to researchers. In the process of upbringing of children of primary school age the role of significant others - teachers and parents - is great. However, for the effectiveness of education for a healthy lifestyle is not enough readiness of the teacher, as the categories of lifestyle, lifestyle is largely associated with the family, with the way of life, with traditions, with the way of life of parents. Parents act as a role model for younger students, so in the process of upbringing important factors are personal, purely individual characteristics of parents, which include health status, physical culture, and attitude to health, culture of communication, ethical culture and experience of a healthy lifestyle.

This chapter builds an analysis around the health aspects of theNational Strategy for Research and Data on Children’s Lives 2011-2016.Adopting a genealogical approach to the present, it explores the meaning of ‘health’ – in the case of children – in the context of the Department of Health’s Policy Framework for a Healthier Ireland 2012-2020.Drawing on Foucault’s notion of biopolitics, the chapter argues that what is unique to the intersection of ‘childhood’ and ‘health’ is the way this articulates what might be described as a ‘biosocial imperative’: the ways in which ‘incomplete’ life is strategically acted upon through social technologies with a view to governing the future.By approaching the National Strategy via the past, this chapter shows how we have moved from biosocial technologies whereby childhood is a means to securing strategic ends, to a biosocial apparatus that constructs children as actors to be acted upon with a view to governing the future.

Chapter 26 investigates the mechanisms that underlie children’s health-related behaviours and the way in which physical activity interacts with genetic factors, which may help improve our understanding of how and why children become obese and develop cardiovascular risk factors, how these children should be treated, and ultimately how the development of cardiovascular risk in childhood can be prevented.
