Health at preschool age
Health is an essential part of children's general well-being and plays a crucial role in their physical, mental, and social development. A balanced diet and regular exercise are crucial to prevent obesity and enhance children's motor skills. Outdoor games or visits to the playground provide varied opportunities for children to experience the joy of movement. Abstract health advice like »It's healthy if you move a lot« is often difficult for children to grasp and rarely motivating. It is much more effective when children are encouraged through the enjoyment of movement. Activities like playing hide-and-seek, dancing together, or engaging in ball games stimulate children's natural need for movement and do so in a way that elicits positive feelings. Healthy media use is equally important. It is vital that parents model conscientious media behavior, such as avoiding screens during meals. Help your child develop healthy habits that lead to lasting and positive behaviors.
