Formation of healthy lifestyle skills in preschool children in a preschool educational institution
Description of the material: I offer you an article on the formation of healthy lifestyle skills in preschoolers attending kindergarten on the topic “Formation of healthy lifestyle skills in preschool children in a preschool educational institution” . This material will be useful to parents of preschool children and teachers in preschool institutions. Preschool education is aimed at the formation of a general culture, the development of physical, intellectual, moral, aesthetic and personal qualities, the formation of prerequisites for educational activities, the preservation and strengthening of the health of preschool children.” / Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On Education in the Russian Federation” No. 273-FZ of September 1, 2013. Article 64 clause 1 Pre-school education. Preschool education is a very short period in a person’s life. Forming healthy lifestyle habits is one of the key goals in the preschool education system. And this is understandable - only a healthy child can develop harmoniously. Protecting and strengthening the physical and mental health of children, including their emotional well-being, is the main task of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education. Preschool age is decisive in the formation of the foundation of physical and mental health. Until the age of seven, a child goes through a huge developmental path that is not repeated throughout the rest of his life. It is during this period that intensive development of organs and the formation of functional systems of the body takes place, the main personality traits are laid, character and attitude towards oneself and others are formed. That is why, from an early age, it is necessary to involve a child in taking care of his health, to instill in him interest and activity in self-development and self-preservation. Work in this direction is only advisable together with the family , since the important subject of the initial link of the system is the family. It creates conditions for the primary orientation of children in organizing a healthy lifestyle. The family urgently needs the help of specialists at all stages of preschool childhood. It is obvious that family and kindergarten, having their own special functions, cannot replace each other and must interact for the sake of the full development of the child. The main task of the educator and parents in introducing a healthy lifestyle is to form a reasonable attitude towards their body, teach them to lead a healthy lifestyle from early childhood, and master the necessary sanitary and hygienic skills. Parents should support at home the principles of developing a healthy lifestyle in optimal combination with all health-saving measures carried out in kindergarten. The habit of a healthy lifestyle is the main, basic, vital habit; it accumulates the result of using the available means of physical education for preschool children in order to solve health, educational and educational problems. Therefore, the preschool institution and the family are called upon to lay the foundations of a healthy lifestyle in preschool childhood, using various forms of work. It is in the family, in a preschool educational institution at an early stage of development that a child should be helped to understand the enduring value of health as early as possible, to realize the purpose of his life, to encourage the child to independently and actively form, maintain and increase his health. A healthy lifestyle is not just the sum of acquired knowledge, but a lifestyle, adequate behavior in various situations. Children may find themselves in unexpected situations on the street and at home, so the main task is to develop their independence and responsibility. Everything we teach children, they must apply in real life. The formation of cultural and hygienic skills in preschool children is one of the most important in raising children of this age. And how well it is initially thought out, planned and organized depends on whether it will promote health, physical and mental development, as well as fostering a culture of behavior. Hygienic culture is as important for a person as the ability to speak, write, and read. Self-care gives a person a feeling of cleanliness and health. It is necessary to accustom the child to hygienic individualism: his own comb, his own bed, his own potty, his own handkerchief, his own towel, his own toothbrush. Bring children to understand that keeping their body clean is important not only to protect their personal health, but also the health of others. In kindergarten, the teacher teaches students to take care of their health and the health of others, develops personal hygiene skills, gives knowledge about healthy food, and guides children towards a healthy lifestyle. Ways to solve problems: direct educational activities, games-activities, visual arts, walks, hygiene procedures, hardening activities, games, sporting events, holidays, conversations, reading literature, the use of emotionally attractive forms. Training should be organized not only in the classroom, but also in all routine moments when situations arise that prompt children to make a decision about this problem. Undoubtedly, parents should be the main allies in this work. From the first days of meeting them, the teacher shows and tells everything that awaits their children in kindergarten, paying special attention to issues related to the children’s health. Listens to their requests regarding the child’s food, sleep, and clothing. All medical and hardening procedures are carried out only strictly with the consent of the parents. First of all, we should direct the work and prove that without their participation we will not be able to achieve good results, only they are the brightest example for their children. Family and kindergarten are two educational institutions , each of which has its own special content and gives the child a certain social experience. For these purposes, various forms of cooperation are widely used: conversations, consultations, seminars, parent meetings, joint holidays, surveys. Conducting open days with demonstrations of methods and techniques of working with children, showing different types of physical education activities with preschool children. Involving parents to participate in the life of the kindergarten. Colorful visual stands introduce parents to the life of a kindergarten, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the age characteristics of children. In the corners for parents there is practical information using interesting facts, recommendations from the teacher and specialists. As a result of such work, using various forms and methods of communication with parents, the pedagogical literacy of parents increases; The culture of interpersonal interaction between children in kindergarten is improving. Thus, working in close cooperation with parents on the issue of developing a healthy lifestyle in preschool brings positive results , the proposed ways on this issue are effective and allow us to solve one of the most important tasks prescribed by the federal state standard of preschool education.

Formation of the foundations of a healthy lifestyle for preschool children in preschool educational institutions
Dear friends, we are pleased to introduce you to Svetlana Viktorovna Ozerova, teacher at State Budgetary Educational Institution Secondary School No. 2 named after. V. Maskina joint venture kindergarten “Alyonushka” st. Klyavlino, Samara region . Today Svetlana Viktorovna proposes in her article to address the topic of valeology in preschool education. This material will be of interest to both teachers and parents.
A short commentary on the article from Svetlana Viktorovna:
“The child was born, took the first step, said the first word. His childish speech is so touching. But now the baby is already 4, 5 and, finally, 6 years old, and his speech still largely remains childish. Now the parents are no longer touched, but upset. For some reason, many parents wait for the “magic” 5 years and only then turn to a speech therapist. This is mistake. You should come for a consultation with a speech therapist as early as possible.”

Formation of the foundations of a healthy lifestyle for preschool children in preschool educational institutions
The level of health (physical and psycho-emotional) of children of both preschool and school age is falling every year. This depends on many reasons, including increased mental workload, decreased opportunities for motor and emotional rest, and a low level of knowledge about healthy lifestyle. The realities of the modern world (man-made disasters, environmental disasters, poor-quality water, chemical additives in food, electron beam radiation from the abuse of computer games and television, constantly playing rock music, social tension in society, uncomfortable living conditions in many regions, rapid the depletion of the body's reserve capabilities in winter, sudden changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc.) confirm the relevance of the valeological topic in preschool education.
Children’s attitude towards their health is the foundation on which the need for a healthy lifestyle can be built. It originates and develops in the process of the child’s awareness of himself as a person and personality. It is necessary for children to understand: a complex, but extremely fragile creation of nature, and they must be able to protect their health and their lives from a very early age.
That is why in kindergarten and at home a child should be taught:
- the habit of cleanliness, neatness, neatness, order;
- basics of cultural and hygienic skills;
- elements of self-control during various motor activities;
- understanding how physical exercise affects the human body and its well-being;
- the ability to behave correctly in situations that threaten life and health, and sometimes to prevent them.
All these tasks are set by modern programs for preschool educational institutions, according to which kindergartens operate in our country. Their analysis allows us to identify the main tasks that a teacher faces when instilling healthy lifestyle habits in preschoolers.
Children must learn:
- determine your condition and feelings;
- understand the need and role of movements in physical development;
- fulfill hygienic requirements for the body and clothing;
- use knowledge of what is beneficial and harmful to the body.
It is important to note that a child’s full readiness for schooling is impossible without acquiring healthy lifestyle skills. In addition to the generally accepted recommendations for following a daily routine and sufficient physical activity, a healthy lifestyle involves instilling in children an active life position regarding their own health, which determines the lifestyle itself, adequate behavior in various situations, an understanding of how to preserve this life and health in the environment, full of invisible dangers.
System of physical education and health work.
Creating favorable indoor conditions for games and activities:
- compliance with the rules of sanitation and hygiene;
- organization of through ventilation (3-5 times a day in the absence of children);
- maintaining the air temperature in the group (20 -22 C).

- morning exercises;
- physical training;
- outdoor games;
- gymnastics after sleep;
- sport games.
Implementation of the daily routine.
Organization of rational nutrition.

- water procedures (washing, hand washing, playing with water);
- barefoot;
- air baths;
Leisure:
- holidays, entertainment;
- health days;

- fun games.
Organization of the development environment:
- physical education corner;
- didactic, board games, albums;
- tables, models on the topic of valeology.
Working with parents:
- parent meetings;
- conversations, consultations;
- survey;
- written consultations (“Health Corner”).
Non-traditional forms of healing
- acupressure;
- breathing exercises;
- finger gymnastics.
Classes on valeology and life safety.
Reading fiction.
Preschool age is the best time to establish a lifelong habit of cleanliness. Children can successfully learn all basic hygiene skills, understand their importance and get used to systematically performing them correctly and quickly. To develop them, children learn to roll up their sleeves, wash their hands well with soap, rinse them thoroughly, wash their face, wipe dry with a personal towel, and use a handkerchief.
The repetition of routine moments and the constancy of requirements ensures the strength of knowledge and self-service skills and helps in developing independence. Fiction also provides great help: stories by L. Voronkova “Masha the Confused”, poems by K. Chukovsky “Moidodyr”, A. Barto “Greasy Girl”, Z. Alexandrova “What you took, put it back”, “Topotushki”, Yu Tuvima “Letter to all children on one very important matter”, I. Muraveyka “I myself”, as well as folk songs and nursery rhymes: “Water, water, wash my face”, “Ant-grass”, “Night has come, darkness brought." Children memorized some poems and nursery rhymes.
Cognitive activities and didactic games play an important role in consolidating washing skills and instilling neatness and neatness. But the main attention is paid to the daily strengthening of cultural and hygienic skills and independence in children. In this case, such various techniques as demonstration, explanation, direct assistance, and encouragement are used. Patiently, repeatedly, children are shown how comfortable it is to eat, sit at the table, and wipe their mouths after eating. The method of instructions (“Bring it”, “Put it away”) is also used, which helps to reinforce the concept that toys and a tea cup from the table must be put back in place after playing.
The most effective way to raise a healthy child is physical exercise and physical education. For a growing organism, they acquire special value if carried out in the air, since they enhance metabolism and the supply of large amounts of oxygen to the body. Games and outdoor activities at all times of the year help strengthen the child’s body, increase his performance and reduce morbidity.
To form the habit of a healthy lifestyle, it is important that the child understands the need for physical exercise, which includes, among other things, morning exercises. Once or twice a week, gymnastics is performed to music, but first breathing exercises are performed. This type of hardening strengthens the entire respiratory tract. Its essence is to perform a set of game exercises with the nose. Can be done both with younger children and older ones, 2-3 times a day.
It is well known that mental work without regular and appropriate physical activity leads to decreased performance and fatigue. Therefore, during classes and between them, physical education sessions are held to promote active relaxation and improve tone. Exercises for them are updated at least 1-2 times a month. I remember the children’s first reactions to physical education sessions. These were smiles and joy from the fact that during a serious lesson some kind of verbal game with movements suddenly began. The children listened to a conversation about how physical education minutes will help them grow up strong, that adults in factories, factories, students in schools - everyone conducts physical education minutes in order to have a little rest and get to work with new strength.
The work also includes a hand massage, since intense pressure on the fingertips stimulates a rush of blood to them. This promotes psycho-emotional stability and physical health, increases the functional activity of the brain, and tones the entire body. Finger massage is also used in classes, as are physical education sessions.
The intensity of traffic increases every year. The flip side of this process is road accidents, deaths and injuries of hundreds of thousands of people. Human casualties are always a tragedy, the severity of which increases many times over when a child is involved in an accident. The main reason for these accidents is gross violation of traffic rules. How do children suffer when they don’t know how to behave in a given situation? What to do if there is a fire? If you're left alone at home? What can you eat and what can you not? Therefore, life safety classes are one of the methods for solving problems in developing a healthy lifestyle for children. They are held in senior groups on the following topics:
- “Dangerous people, and who protects us from them”;
- “Contacts with strangers and rules of conduct with them”;
- “Cars of our village”;
- "Where children should play."
Every child wants to be strong, cheerful, energetic - to run without getting tired, ride a bike, swim, play with their peers in the yard, and not suffer from headaches or endless runny noses.
Our task is to teach them to think about their health, take care of it, and enjoy life.

Formation of the foundations of healthy lifestyle habits in preschool childrenMunicipal budgetary preschool educational institution kindergarten No. 65 of a general developmental type with priority implementation of activities in the social and personal direction of development of children in the city of Orel
Completed by: Mitina Oksana Nikolaevna
Introduction:
Today, in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard, the direction “Physical Development” , which includes the educational areas “Health” , “Physical Culture”, occupies a leading place in the educational process of preschool children. And this is no coincidence. Latest data from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation: according to statistics, the 21st century began in Russia with a sharp deterioration in such a significant indicator as the health of preschoolers. The number of healthy children decreased by 8.1%. By 6.75% - The number of children with disabilities in physical development and a predisposition to pathology has increased. The number of children in health group 3 with severe disabilities and chronic diseases increased by 1.5%.
Every year the percentage of children with health problems increases, and there is a trend of continuous growth in the overall level of disease among preschool children. This is due to many negative phenomena of modern life: difficult socio-economic conditions, environmental problems, low level of development of the institution of marriage and family; massive spread of alcoholism, smoking, drug addiction; weak health care system and educational base of educational institutions and families. The well-being of society as a whole depends on the level of mental and physical condition of the population, on the state of its health, therefore the problem of forming children’s ideas about a healthy lifestyle for children seems relevant in modern society
A child’s attitude towards their health is the foundation on which the need for a healthy lifestyle can be built. This need arises and develops in the process of the child’s awareness of himself as a person and personality. A child’s attitude towards health directly depends on the formation of this concept in his consciousness.
The foundations of a healthy lifestyle in preschool children are determined by the presence of knowledge and ideas about the elements of a healthy lifestyle (compliance with the regime, hygiene procedures, physical activity), and the ability to implement them in behavior and activities in ways accessible to the child (brush teeth, wash hands, do exercises) )
Modern society is distinguished by a variety of examples of human lifestyle that every child constantly encounters. This diversity is not always a model for the child; as a result, chaos is created in the child’s ideas about a healthy lifestyle and already existing ideas are destroyed.
Today, the problem of developing ideas about a healthy lifestyle (HLS) is considered at the state level in connection with the negative trend towards deterioration in the health of all socio-demographic groups of the population of Russia and, especially, children of preschool and school age
The studies of A.A. are devoted to the study of the formation of ideas in preschool children about a healthy lifestyle. Bodaleva, A.L. Venger, V.D. Davydova, M.I. Lisina, V.A. Slastenina, E.O. Smirnova. Analysis of works by V.A. Derkunskaya, S.A. Kozlova, L.G. Kasyanova, O.A. Knyazeva, I.M. Novikova et al. shows that already at preschool age a child develops a stable interest in his health, a caring attitude towards his body (life, health) as a value.
Despite numerous studies, the problem of developing a healthy lifestyle among preschool children requires further study and the search for new approaches to implementing the tasks of creating a healthy lifestyle for preschool children in the practical activities of preschool educational institutions.
The purpose of the study is to study the features of developing a healthy lifestyle for preschool children in preschool settings.
To achieve the goal it is necessary to solve the following problems:
- To study the theoretical foundations of the process of developing a healthy lifestyle in preschool children.
- Identify age-related features of the formation of a healthy lifestyle.
- Consider the content and forms of work to promote a healthy lifestyle in preschoolers.
- To determine the criteria and indicators of the formation of a healthy lifestyle and experimentally test the effectiveness of work to promote a healthy lifestyle for preschool children in preschool settings.
- Theoretical foundations for the formation of a healthy lifestyle in preschool children
- 1. The essence of the concepts of “health” and “healthy lifestyle”
The starting point for the definition of the term “health” is the definition given in the Constitution of the World Health Organization: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity .
Health is characterized by biological potential (hereditary capabilities), physiological reserves of vital activity, normal mental state and social opportunities for a person to realize all his inclinations (genetically determined
There are three types of health: 1) “individual health” (person, personality); 2) “group health” (family, professional group, “stratum – layer” ); 3) “population health” (population, public)
In accordance with the type of health, indicators have been developed that provide qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
Also distinguished is psychological health, which determines the mental and emotional well-being of a person. According to research by L.A. Abrahamyan, M.I. Lisina, T.A. Repina, “emotional well-being” of preschool children can be defined as a child’s stable emotional and positive well-being, the basis of which is the satisfaction of basic age needs: biological and social
According to I.V. Dubrovina, the basis of psychological health is the full mental development of the child at all stages. The authors argue that psychological health should be considered from the point of view of the spiritual wealth of the individual, orientation towards absolute values (kindness, beauty, truth).
Human health begins in childhood and, according to scientific research, it is determined 50% by lifestyle, 20% by heredity, 20% by the state of the environment and approximately 10% by the possibilities of medicine and healthcare. Physical education and sports occupy an important place in maintaining health.
Human health largely depends on the value systems existing in society that determine the meaning of life. Health is a personal and social value. The formation of such an attitude towards one’s own health is being carried out by a new branch of knowledge called “valeology” - the science of health.
A healthy lifestyle is “the result of the actions of many internal and external factors, objective and subjective conditions that favorably influence the state of health . A healthy lifestyle is a prerequisite for the development of other aspects of human life, the achievement of active longevity and the full performance of social functions.
The preschool education system plays a great role in creating favorable conditions for the formation of ideas about a healthy lifestyle among preschoolers, since concern for strengthening the health of the child, as noted by A.F. Amend, S.F. Vasiliev, M.L. Lazarev, O.V. Morozova, T.V. Poshtareva, O.Yu. Tolstova, Z.I. Tyumasev, etc., is not only a medical problem, but also a pedagogical one, since properly organized educational work with children often ensures the formation of health and a healthy lifestyle to a greater extent than all medical and hygienic measures.
So, the health of children is currently becoming a national problem, and the formation of a healthy lifestyle in preschool children is a state task, the solution of which largely depends on the organization of work in this area in a preschool institution.
1. 2 Objectives, content and forms of organization of familiarizing preschool children with the basics of a healthy lifestyle
The tasks and content of educating preschool children are multifaceted. A special place among them is occupied by the problems of creating a healthy lifestyle, because the full development of the child depends on the effectiveness of solving these problems

This differentiation of tasks guarantees accessibility for children and thereby creates a favorable environment for each child to learn the norms and rules of a healthy lifestyle.
To form preschoolers’ ideas about a healthy lifestyle, special exercises that strengthen children’s health and a physical education system are necessary. For this purpose, morning exercises are carried out daily in kindergarten groups, the purpose of which is to create a cheerful, cheerful mood in children, improve health, develop dexterity, and physical strength. Morning gymnastics and special physical education classes in the gym are accompanied by music, which “has a beneficial effect on the emotional sphere of older preschoolers, promotes children’s good mood, and shapes their ideas about a healthy lifestyle.”
Outdoor games are of great importance for the formation of preschool children’s ideas about a healthy lifestyle. They are carried out in groups, in special classes, during walks and at intermediate intervals between classes. Outdoor games are necessarily included in music classes. Games for younger preschoolers are organized by the teacher; at older ages, such games are most often organized by the children themselves.
The process of forming preschoolers’ ideas about a healthy lifestyle is closely related to instilling in them a love of cleanliness, neatness, and order.
In addition to daily morning exercises, special physical education classes are conducted for preschool children. Their goal is to teach children the correct execution of movements, various exercises aimed at developing body coordination and increasing independent motor activity. Classes are held in a special hall and are accompanied by music. All classes are conducted using special methods.
The development of movements and the education of motor activity of preschoolers is carried out during walks. Most preschool institutions have well-equipped areas where children spend time. Each walk can have a specific content. So, for a walk, the teacher plans a series of outdoor games, a relay race, collection of natural material for further work with it in the group, competitions, etc.
The formation of preschool children’s ideas about a healthy lifestyle is closely related to the protection of their life and health. The rules for protecting the life and health of the child are set out in special instructions and methodological letters for preschool workers. In kindergarten, medical monitoring of children’s health is constantly carried out, and preventive measures are taken to strengthen it.
Thus, the implementation of work on the formation of a healthy lifestyle in children in preschool settings is carried out through classes, through a routine, play, walk, individual work, independent activity.
The following methodological techniques are used: stories and conversations of the teacher; memorizing poems; modeling of various situations; examination of illustrations, plot, subject pictures, posters; role-playing games; didactic games; training games; fun games; outdoor games; psycho-gymnastics; finger and breathing exercises; self-massage; physical education minutes
Literary word and children's book are an important means of influencing children. Therefore, in addition to conversations and looking at illustrations and pictures, educators widely use fiction. Conversation after reading a book deepens its educational impact
Games, puppet and finger theaters, flannelgraph, listening to audio CDs, etc. occupy an important place.
When carrying out work, use positive assessment, praise, and encouragement. It is known: praise stimulates, but an angry word, on the contrary, offends.
A special place should be given to working with parents. The family plays an important role; it, together with preschool educational institutions, is the main social structure that ensures the preservation and strengthening of children’s health, introducing them to the values of a healthy lifestyle. It is known that not even the best program and methodology can guarantee a full-fledged result if its tasks are not solved together with the family, if a child-adult community (children - parents - teachers) is not created, which is characterized by assistance to each other, taking into account opportunities and the interests of everyone, their rights and responsibilities.
