PRE-SCHOOL TEACHERS, PARENTS AND THEIR CO-OPERATION IN SUPPORTING OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF 4-7 YEARS CHILDREN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

We live in a century where we are often assisted by a technique. Therefore less the work which need the physical efforts or force. People spent less time in the wild and children forgot outdoors or moving games. Many doctors believe that the most common diseases of our time are deficiency of movement [7]. The population of Estonia is the lack of physical activity: only about 10% of women and 15% of men aged 15-74 regularly engaged in active movement. It is known that a number of physically inactive people is increasing. At the same time Estonia is at the forefront of heart disease mortality rates in Europe and around the world. Every year role of physical activity decreases both at work and home life. At the same time a significant increase in the availability and consumption of energy-dense foods. Therefore we need to be active in energy spending and the movement must become a regular part of one of the lifestyle [11]. Ten years after in this investigation may reach 4-7 year old children in this age range and the proportion of physically active people would be larger (as expected 45% of the population is physically active 2-3times per week) and begin the formation of a movement habit already. Physically active and sedentary lifestyle both can start early in childhood and are passed on to adolescence and adulthood [1]. This is confirmed by a study carried out by researchers in Australia, that the child and adult physical activity is involved. Children who are accustomed to moving or participated in sports training, as well as adults are physically active [4]. Pre-school child's general physical, social, emotional and spiritual development were affecting by the mobility-related activities [2],[8]. Physical and mental development is a direct connection, because the human brain is able to think abstractly only when the body has enough information and the surrounding world. Such information primarily procures a child moving. If the kids are able more better to manage their movements, then they have more freedom to concentrate on learning new things. Physical development and movement skills of real estate are directly related to physical activity. Good development of physical skills provides impetus for future physical activity, which will lead to short-and long-term health benefits [6]. For the vast majority of motor skills development takes place pre-school age. It is generally recognized sport activities educational impact to develop positive character traits, children acquire moral principles, learn to consider and evaluate their skills and abilities, experiencing a variety of emotions and learn to check them [8]. Brofenbrenner [3] ecological systems theory of evolution explains that child development growth in the immediate environment as a result of the interaction of different processes. These processes must be regular and long-range period of time, exert a significant influence on a child's development. The biggest impact to a child's physical activity at home by the parents is the growth environment, education styles and activities [10]. In today's way of life parents have often for the older children less and less time. Therefore, parents often replace "electronic babysitters". Children spend their time playing computer games and watching television. They have more time in the rooms than outdoors, get used to a sedentary lifestyle and moving less. As parents and children have the opportunity to actively spend time together mostly on the weekends, so the kindergarten plays an important role in shaping the physical activity. Child physical activity depends on its own kindergarten teacher and a group activity. For active movement and encourage children to develop their physical skills teacher must do variety of movement activities. The teacher's role is to make the activities striking so that a child, who is less interested in the movement will take part too. It is also important for the teacher to know the children's physical abilities and age appropriate exercises to make such a load of activities what are needed for the development of physical skills.
