Sažetak
Introduction: Mental function has a physiological basis and is clearly associated with somatic and social
functioning as well as the state of total health. Early childhood is an extremely important period and
a special opportunity for an adequate promotion of mental health and the prevention of mental disorders.
Most of the mental disorders that are registered with adults start at age 14.
The aim of the paper: The aim of the paper was to point out the importance of promoting healthy life-
14
styles in early childhood in the preservation of mental health.
Method of work: As a method of work, used analysis of scientific information related to childhood life
styles and its impact on mental health preservation. At the same time, the paper presents the results of
the research gained in two primary schools and compares it with other results.
Results and discussion: Healthy lifestyles relate to the acquisition of life skills, the way of living, the
establishment of an adequate family surroundings and environment, physical activity, healthy nutrition,
prevention of injuries, violence and addiction diseases, appropriate education on sexual and reproductive
health, inclusiveness and appreciation of diversity , human relationship and need to help others. Research
shows that a particularly important impact on the mental health of the child is the virtual world of
electronic media, computer games and social networks, which isolates and separates them from real life.
Studies in two primary schools in Gračanica on a sample of 2,200 children aged 6-15 show that most of
them spend most of their time on the Internet. Similarly, research conducted in Croatia (1489 children
aged 11-18) showed that 93% of children have open Facebook profiles, and almost one third of their
children spend their free time on the internet. Loss of concentration, anxiety, aggression, depression,
apathy, or neglect of school obligations are just some of the symptoms of children long-term living in
the virtual world.
Conclusion: Healthy lifestyles need to be applied in the second, third and fourth stages of the life cycle
of children (age 2-4g, 3-6g and 7-11) with their specific psychosocial crisis where adaptive age can
target the metal status of the child towards achievement full physical, mental and social well-being for
a lifetime.
