Title Pretilost djece predškolske dobi Title (english) Obesity in preschool children Author Tatjana Keser Mentor Ivan Prskalo (mentor)Committee member Ivan Prskalo (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Marko Badrić (član povjerenstva)Committee member Davor Žilić (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zagreb Defense date and country 2021-11-22, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Scientific / art field, BIOTECHNICAL SCIENCES Abstract Pretilost znači imati višak tjelesne masti. To nije isto što i prekomjerna tjelesna težina koja može biti posljedica viška mišića, kostiju ili vode, kao i previše masti. Danas je problem pretilosti u djece predškolske dobi sve rašireniji, a sve više djece u razvijenim zemljama je pretilo ili im prijeti rizik od razvoja pretilosti. Pretilost djecu predškolske dobi dovodi u opasnost od razvoja ozbiljnih zdravstvenih problema, kao što su dijabetes, kardiovaskularne bolesti te astma. Također, pretilost u predškolskoj dobi ostavlja traga i na emocionalnom statusu djece. Pretila djeca teško drže korak s drugom djecom, teže se uključuju u aktivnosti i
druženje, a druga djeca ih zbog toga mogu zadirkivati i isključivati što dovodi do niskog samopouzdanja i samopoštovanja, negativne slike o sebi, a ponekad čak i do depresije. Ovu temu završnog rada odabrala sam kako bih bolje razumjela pretilost u djece predškolske dobi. Razumijevanje kako djeca razvijaju pretilost je važan korak u prevenciji pretilosti i razvoju intervencija koje su usmjerene na smanjenje pretilosti u djece predškolske dobi, osobito intervencija koje se provode u dječjim vrtićima. Iako zdrave navike počinju kod kuće, odgojitelji u dječjim vrtićima imaju značajnu ulogu u edukaciji djece o zdravom načinu prehrane i načinu na koji djeca usvajaju zdrave prehrambene navike. Zato je razumijevanje problema pretilosti u predškolskoj dobi vrlo važno za odgojitelje kako bi na pravilan način utjecali na zdravlje djece. U toj zadaći je važna i pomoć i podrška roditelja, kao i svih drugih članova obitelji koji provode vrijeme s djecom. Odgojitelj ima zadaću s djecom razgovarati o zdravoj prehrani i tjelesnoj aktivnosti i educirati djecu o zdravim životnim navikama kroz igru i druge aktivnosti poput čitanja ili pričanja priča. Ovakav pristup kod djece može potaknuti motivaciju i samopouzdanje i značiti pozitivne promjene.
Abstract (english) Obesity means having excess body fat. This is not the same as being overweight which can be due to excess muscle, bone, or water as well as too much fat. Today, the problem of obesity in preschool children is becoming more widespread, and every year more children in developed countries are obese or at risk of developing obesity. Obesity in preschool children puts them at risk of developing serious health problems, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and asthma. Also, obesity in preschool age leaves a mark on the emotional status of children. Obese children find it difficult to keep up with other children, find it harder to engage in activities and socializing, and other children may therefore tease and exclude them which leading to low self-esteem and self-esteem, negative self-image, and sometimes even depression. I chose this topic of the final paper to better understand obesity in preschool children. Understanding how children develop obesity is an important step in the prevention of obesity and the development of interventions aimed at reducing obesity in preschool
children, especially interventions carried out in kindergartens. Although healthy habits start at home, kindergarten teachers have a significant role to play in educating children about healthy eating and the way children adopt healthy eating habits. That is why understanding the problem of obesity in preschool is very important for educators in order to properly influence
the health of children. In this task, the help and support of parents is important, as well as all other family members who spend time with their children. The educator has the task of talking to children about healthy eating and physical activity and educating children about healthy living habits through play and other activities such as reading or telling stories. This
approach in children can boost motivation and self-confidence and mean positive change.
