Relations between time spent with family and some developmental risks in preschool children: obesity and externalized / internalized risk behaviors
Aim. The objectives of this research are to analyse the ways how a child spends time withhis/her family as well as the child's developmental risks of obesity and risk behaviours in the kin-dergarten and to determine whether the different ways of spending time with the family are con-nected to the two types of developmental risks in children (risk behaviours in the kindergartenand the risk of obesity in children). Materials and methods. With a sample of 122 participantsaged 3–5 years from the city of Rijeka and its surroundings, a survey questionnaire was used toassess how children spend their time with their parents when they are not attending the kinder-garten and how much time they spend walking, riding a bicycle, swimming, playing on the com-puter, or watching television and what their body mass index and risk of obesity index are.The second part of the questionnaire was filled out by the preschool teachers and it assessed chil-dren's externalized and internalized risk behaviours in accordance with the SCBE Scale. Results.The obtained results indicate that the older the child, the more time he/she spends on the com-puter. The analysis of sex differences found only that girls spend more time swimming than boys.There are some weak but significant links between the length of time a child spends watchingmedia content while with the family and risk behaviours in the kindergarten and other develop-mental risks such as obesity. Conclusion. However, additional research is needed to determinethe applicability of the results in preventing unfavourable child development
