Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je iznijeti glavne sastavnice zdravog načina života djece rane i predškolske dobi, važnost uloge roditelja i odgojitelja u poticanju istog te ispitati utjecaj COVID-19 pandemije na zdravi način života djece rane i predškolske dobi. Rad se sastoji od teorijskog i istraživačkog djela. Teorijski dio rada iznosi sve sastavnice i važnosti zdravog načina života djece rane i predškolske djece za kvalitetan rast i razvoj djece. Zdrav način života sastoji se od zdrave i pravilne prehrane, tjelesne aktivnosti, sna te socijalizacije i mentalnog zdravlja. Pravilna prehrana djece od izrazite je važnosti te je zbog toga nužno osigurati zdravu prehranu djeci i kod kuće i u obrazovnoj instituciji, odnosno vrtiću. Tjelesna aktivnost jer prirodna potreba djece i mora biti zadovoljena u optimalnoj količini za normalno funkcioniranje te kvalitetan rast i razvoj djece. Kvalitetan san i dovoljna količina
spavanja također je nužna za očuvanje zdravlja djece jer utječe na raspoloženje, koncentraciju i energiju. Za dobro zdravlje djece rane i predškolske dobi također je zaslužna i socijalizacija djece, odnosno druženje s vršnjacima i prijateljima te očuvanje mentalnog zdravlja djece. U radu su detaljno opisane navedene sastavnice zdravog načina života. Za potrebe istraživačkog djela rada korišten je anketni upitnik s 26 pitanja u kojem je sudjelovalo 186 ispitanika, odnosno roditelja djece rane i predškolske dobi. Istraživanjem se željelo ispitati utjecaj COVID-19 pandemije na zdravi način života djece rane i predškolske dobi. Analizom istraživanja, rezultati pokazuju kako COVID-19 pandemija uglavnom nije utjecala na zdravi način života djece rane i predškolske dobi, odnosno nije promijenila dječje prehrambene navike, tjelesnu aktivnost, san i spavanje te socijalizaciju i mentalno zdravlje.
