  • Friends/Classmates: 
    • Major social influence as they are at such a young age, want to be doing and eating what their friends/classmates are 
    • If classmates/ friends are eating pizza than the kid is going to want to eat it as well
  • Endorsements/Television: 
    • Not a major influence for this specific age group as they are still young
    • Very impressionable age group: if their favourite t.v. character is eating a specific type of food (e.g. pizza, vegetables) than the child is going to want to as well
    • Posters in school can influence them as well
