Influence of sport on the development of preschool children

Rad se bavi utjecajem sporta na razvoj predškolskog djeteta, ali također i područjima razvoja djeteta, njegovim psihofizičkim osobinama i svemu što prethodi kvalitetnom uvođenju u sportski program ili sportske aktivnosti općenito. Sport, kao važno područje razvoja svakog djeteta, vrlo često može biti krivo protumačen ili pogrešno adaptiran na dijete predškolske dobi. Isključivanjem rezultata iz sportske aktivnosti uvelike se umanjuje stres prouzrokovan natjecateljskim tipom sporta što je veoma važno kod djece predškolske dobi zbog njihovog trenutnog kognitivnog razvoja i poimanja vlastite osobnosti te ega. Utjecaj sporta na dijete potpun je i kompleksan te se odmiče od poticanja isključivo motoričke spremnosti i sposobnosti te u skladu s time potiče i sve druge sfere djetetova razvoja. Uloga roditelja u sportu treba biti isključivo pozitivna, nagrađujuća i prepuna podrške kako bi dijete u svakom trenutku bilo sposobno procijeniti vlastitu vrijednost i na temelju toga razvijati se u potpunu i samoaktualizirajuću ličnost.This paper is exploring the influence of sport on a development of preschool child but it also discusses psychophysical characteristics and everything that precedes to quality sports program or sport activity overly. Sports, as important area od each child's development, is often wrongly assumed or wrongly adapted for the preschool child. By excluding the results from sports activity, stress from competitive part of sports is being strongly relieved which is very important for the child of preschool age because of their current cognitive development and understanding their own personality and ego. Influence of sport on the child is complete and complex and it grows much larger from just encouraging motorical readiness and ability and it strongly encourages all the other spheres of child's development. Parents role in sports has to be positive, rewarding and very supportive as child could, in every moment, be ready and capable of judging their own worth and based on that develop into a complete and self-actualizing personality
