The preschool age of a child is characterized by the rapid development of his body. At this time, there is an active formation of the nervous, skeletal, muscular systems, the improvement of the respiratory apparatus. Therefore, this period is very important for the physical development of the child and his he alth. Physical education of children has a huge impact on their mental development, on the formation of many positive character traits: initiative, activity, endurance, etc.

Physical education of preschool children includes: physical development, he alth protection and promotion, hardening, formation and improvement of motor skills, as well as hygiene skills.

In infancy, a child's life is completely dependent on his parents. Therefore, it is they who are obliged to provide him with a full-fledged physical development, to create all the conditions necessary for this. Their task is to organize the proper nutrition of the child and create comfortable conditions for his living. To do this, you must adhere to the rules of hygiene and regimen, applyhardening elements, do feasible gymnastics with the baby. The baby must be given time to drink and feed, bathe and wash, regularly walk with him in the fresh air. He urgently needs a light body massage by stroking, and air baths, and gymnastics for the arms and legs. All this will contribute to the fact that the child will have a sound sleep and a good appetite, and this will provide him with a joyful mood for the whole day and help him develop properly physically.

When the baby grows up, learns to walk, talk and understand human speech, he must be taught the ability to independently care for his body and maintain his he alth. The child should know why it is necessary to use soap, and be able to do it. He must be able to brush his teeth correctly (up and down) and know why this is necessary; cut nails and hair; use a comb and handkerchief; rinse your mouth after eating; tie shoelaces; do not drink raw water, etc. The child should get into the habit of wiping his shoes when entering a house or apartment, keep his clothes and shoes clean, take care of toys and surrounding objects, always be neat and thrifty.

The personal example of parents can play a huge role in this matter. If a child sees that parents regularly wash their faces, brush their teeth in the morning, walk in clean and tidy clothes, wash their hands before eating, stay outdoors for a long time, go in for sports, take care of nature - the child will inevitably adhere to these rules and do everything just like adults do.

Physical education for preschool childrenprovides for the continuous formation and improvement of motor skills and abilities.

Active movements have a beneficial effect on both the development of the muscles and skeletal system of the child, and the improvement of the functions of all his organs.

A huge role in this belongs to morning exercises, outdoor games (tennis, towns), the implementation of certain elements of sports games, such as hockey, football, basketball. The formation of motor skills is facilitated by: cycling, skating or rollerblading, skiing, swimming, wall bars, etc.

It is very important to correctly select physical activities for preschool children so that they are feasible, but not too easy.

Physical education lessons for children in kindergartens contribute to the development of specific muscles of a preschooler, the formation of the correct curvature of the spine, strengthening ligaments and joints, positively affect the activity of the cardiovascular system, form the arch of the foot, and also have a positive effect on overall physical development.

Physical education for preschool children involves regular hardening of the child's body, which will help the child quickly adapt to changes in weather and other living conditions.

Perhaps the easiest and most effective way to do it is to take long walks and outdoor games, as well as swimming in open water (in summer) or inpool. For babies, you can use an ordinary home bathroom, bathing them in water at a temperature of + 36-37 degrees. Such procedures are pleasant for children and help to significantly strengthen the immune system.

Help develop immunity and wet wiping the hands and feet of children with a towel dipped in cool water. It is advisable to do such procedures for babies as often as possible, and each finger should be wiped separately, while combining water procedures with body massage.

Invaluable help in hardening a child will be walking barefoot on the ground, grass or along the “he alth path”, but in no case on asph alt. The child should sleep lightly dressed in a well-ventilated area.

Methodically competently organized physical education of preschool children, including the systematic strengthening and protection of he alth, the development of skills and abilities of movement, hygiene, as well as the use of hardening elements will provide invaluable assistance to the child in his full physical development.
