Joško Sindik ; Children's nursery "Trnoružica", Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Making efficient prevention strategy is often more functional than working on individual cases. A general preventive program with qualitative programmed and planned kinesiological activities was
considered for the purpose of insuring healthy development of reschool children. The general short-term aim of the program is to stimulate child psychosomatic development as a whole. The long-term aim is to accept useful and healthy habits important for living. The basic form of the program realisation is a workshop (play shop). Basic principles of the organization workshops with sport contents are described in detail, as well as the program's realization aims and forms, some achieved results, and implications on the choices for a child’s involvement in kinesiological activities in the future.
