The target of the work was mapping selected components of the style of life of families in the Kysuce area. The sample group examined included 174 respondents (women (n = 34) working in selected companies in Čadca, their husbands (n = 31) and secondary school students (n = 109)). The basic method of the work was the use of a questionnaire for women, men and children/students. The statistical processing was carried out with the help of the squared chi test. We found dependence between the style of life of parents and children. It was shown that n = 88 (80.73%) children/students made themselves drunk before reaching their adulthood, of them n = 63 (57.80%) children as soon as before the 15th year of their age. Only n = 21 (19.26%) children/students reported that they have never been drunk. As much as n = 81 (74.31%) children/students tried to smoke before reaching 18 years of age. Only n = 30 (27.52%) children/students regularly take their breakfast; n = 39 (35.78%) do not take breakfast at all. We are pointing out the observed problems of the style of life in a group of the population studied, which consisted of families in the Kysuce area.
