Today we are faced with the conflict of the number of tasks and the possibility of having an active life, however how much this can reflect in the future lifestyle of the children. in this way the objective of this work was to verify what physical activities are practiced by children, both inside and outside school, and whether the parents' lifestyle reflects this reality. counting on a descriptive research we applied a questionnaire structured in 24 parents; consisted of 24 children of both sexes, from 4 to 6 years of age (mean age 4.85±0.93, coefficient of variation of 19.17%, showing only the homogeneous sample in relation to age); of these, 13 boys evaluated and 07 girls. The results we could observe that the parents' lifestyle reflects directly on the children's life type, since the parents can direct the children, showing them and directing them to the practice of physical activities and still we verify that the boys work more than girls, by participating and leading a more active life.
