Abstract

Većina djece predškolske dobi svakodnevno se susreće sa stresnim situacijama. Izvori stresa kod djece
mijenjaju se kako djeca rastu i sazrijevaju. Iako postoji mnogo izvora stresa, stresne situacije zajedničke
su većini djece. Istraživanja pokazuju pozitivnu povezanost mentalnog zdravlja i bavljenja tjelesnom
aktivnosti. Tjelesna aktivnost utječe na mnoge aspekte kvalitete života kod djece te se njome ostvaruje
pozitivan utjecaj na zdravlje, ali isto tako i psihološki, socijalni i kognitivni razvoj djece. Tjelesna
aktivnost ima važnu razvojnu ulogu te pruža mogućnost učenja regulacije emocija, interpersonalnih
vještina i izgrađivanja međuvršnjačkih odnosa. Osim što ima razvojnu ulogu tjelesna aktivnost
pozitivno utječe i na psihološki razvoj djece jer podiže samopoštovanje i poboljšava sliku o sebi te
umanjuje stres i anksioznost. Cilj ovoga rada je analizirati spoznaje iz literature i ispitati stavove i
gledišta roditelja o utjecaju tjelesne aktivnosti na smanjenje stresa kod djece predškolske dobi.
