Lifestyle facts for kids

A lifestyle is how a person, group, or culture lives their life. It includes their habits, choices, and daily activities. The word "lifestyle" was first used by an Austrian psychologist named Alfred Adler. He lived from 1870 to 1937.

What Shapes Your Lifestyle?

A lifestyle is how you live and make choices. It's about doing things in your own special way. Your lifestyle can show your views on politics, society, or money. It also includes your personal beliefs.

Not every part of your lifestyle is a choice you make. Things around you can affect it. For example, the money situation in your country matters. Also, the people around you can limit your choices.

Examples of Lifestyles

Many different lifestyles exist around the world. Here are a few examples:

• Diets: This includes choices like veganism (no animal products), vegetarianism (no meat), or raw foodism (eating only uncooked foods).
• Alternative Child-Rearing: Some families choose different ways to raise children. An example is homeschooling, where children learn at home instead of at a traditional school.
• Subcultures: These are groups of people with shared interests and styles. An example is the hippies from the 1960s. They had unique clothing, music, and ideas.
