The article analyzes the contemporaneity and relevance of the point of creation of preschool children. In the framework of scientific and pedagogical research, creativity considers as a qualitative change in human ability that corresponds to the psychophysical and psycho-emotional processes of the preschool period of personality formation. With the help of the conducted experimental work based on children’s preschool institutions of Poltava region, the art-activity criterion of creativity of children of 5-7 years with the involvement of modern art-game material has been revealed. Particular attention has been paid to modern scientific research, which is devoted to the matter of children’s creativity, which is developing in creative activities. As a result of experimental work, we identified indicators of artistic and creative criteria of creativity of preschool children, namely the indicator of artistic and game literacy, the indicator of artistic and playful actions, and the indicator of improvisation and creative activity.Special attention should be paid to identifying the levels of indicators of artistic and creative criteria of creativity of preschool children with the involvement of contemporary art and game material in the experiment - high, medium, and low levels of creativity, their features, and quality examples. Our article contains a diagnosis of the problems faced by preschool children when playing, as a leading activity or when getting acquainted with the developmental potential of modern art and game material from the standpoint of an artistic and creative criterion of creativity. Prospects for further development in the direction of forming the creativity of preschool children using modern art and game material are aimed at preparing a curriculum in this thematic area.

Introduction: Prior research generally confirms the importance of endurance exercises in preschool period and suggests shorter and less intensive exercises. However, little research has been conducted to show and evaluate different types for developing endurance in preschool period. Our research aims to find out which type of exercise is more suitable for developing endurance for a preschool age child compared to an adult, taking into account developmental characteristics. Material and methods: A total of 69 preschool children (40 children aged 3 years and 29 children aged 5 years) were included in the study. We measured their heart rates during two types of endurance exercises (uninterrupted walking vs “method of game”). We compared the average heart rate and the actual frequency curves. Results: Endurance exercise according to the “method of game” allows the child to adjust the effort more individually compared to uninterrupted walking when both exercises are performed with a group of pre-school children. A comparison of heart rate curves showed that when children partook in the “ method of game”, they achieved different heart rate values at the same time. A further analysis of heart rate with 5 selected “time stamps” between the two exercises showed that children achieved statistically significant higher heart rates when performing the “method of game” (1’: Z = 2.20; p = 0.028, r = 0.19; 3 ‘: Z = 4.64; p = 0.00, r = 0.39; 5’: Z = 3.23; p = 0.001, r = 0.27; 8’: Z = 3.82 p = 0.00, r = 0.32; 13 ‘: Z = 3.33; p = 0.001, r = 0.28). The comparison of the mean heart rate values over the entire 13-minute time interval between the execution of the “method of game” (M = 143, SD = 14) and uninterrupted walking (M = 132, SD = 9) was statistically significantly higher in favour of the “method of game” (Wilcox test: Z = 5.83, p = 0.00, r = 0.24). The Mann-Whitney-Test showed that 3-year-old children achieved statistically significantly higher average heart rate during the “method of game” (Z = -2.34 p = 0.020, η² = 0.08) as well as during uninterrupted walking (Z = 3.17 p = 0.002, η² = 0.15). No statistically significant differences between boys and girls were confirmed. Conclusions: Based on the results obtained, we believe that endurance exercise according to the “method of game” is more suitable for a developing preschool child than uninterrupted walking. The “method of game” also allows the simultaneous implementation of endurance exercise in heterogeneous groups, since the children adapt to the effort themselves, regardless of age. We believe that other types of endurance exercises should be researched and all age groups of preschool children should be included in the research.

Introduction. Speech disorders are currently observed in an average of 30 % of children of the fi rst grade of school. It means that objectively during the preschool period, one third of the entire population of children have speech function that does not reach the norm and requires additional correction by specialists. In recent years birth injury has been considered one of the possible reasons for the high frequency of speech disorders. As practice shows, the possibilities of drug therapy for children with speech disorders are very limited. That is why it is relevant to expand non-drug methods for the restoration of speech functions. The goal of research — to justify the use of osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions in order to improve sound pronunciation in preschool children.Materials and methods. In the period from 2012 to 2018, a prospective controlled randomized study was performed on the basis of Tyumen Institute of Manual Medicine. The work is based on the results of examination and treatment of 98 preschool children with delayed speech development. 18 people were excluded from the study in accordance with exclusion criteria. Depending on the treatment method used, all patients were divided by simple randomization using the envelope method into two comparable groups (main and control) of 40 people. Patients of both groups underwent a complete speech therapy correction and training course, which included individual lessons. Patients of the main group underwent the same speech therapy, as well as the osteopathic treatment in accordance with the developed algorithm. All patients underwent osteopathic examination and a combined assessment of the severity of speech disorders before and after the treatment.Results. The study showed that the presence of global, regional and local somatic dysfunctions was typical for children of preschool age with a delay in speech development. Somatic dysfunctions of head, neck and thoracic regions were most often observed. In the course of the treatment, patients of the main group showed a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of detection of somatic dysfunctions of head, neck, and thoracic regions, of local somatic dysfunctions of the cranial sutures and the thoracoabdominal diaphragm (p<0,05). In patients of the control group, there was no statistically significant decrease in the number of somatic dysfunctions. In children with impaired speech development who underwent complex therapy, which included osteopathic correction and individual lessons with a speech therapist, there was a significant decrease in the severity of speech disorders compared with patients of the control group (p<0,00001).Conclusion. Osteopathic correction of somatic dysfunctions (with a certain sequence of techniques aimed to treat connective tissue disorders, including decompression, elimination of edema and hypoxia in children with delayed speech development), allows to achieve a statistically signifi cant improvement in children′s condition compared with standard treatment.

Тhe article outlines modern approaches to the problem of the upbringing of a preschool-aged child. The necessity of taking into account the basic principles of humanistic pedagogy, the laws of the child's mental development in the process of its upbringing, and the formation of a value-oriented personality at the stage of preschool childhood is substantiated. Based on a detailed analysis of modern psychological and pedagogical research, the need to take into account the potential opportunities of the preschool period in the shaping of the basic values of the individual is substantiated. The psychological and pedagogical approaches to the problem of raising the valuable attitude towards children of preschool age are revealed. At the current stage of development of the Ukrainian society, the growing person requirements for the ability to behave competently, to show mobility, flexibility and self-confidence in difficult conditions of life have been significantly increased. The change of social priorities and the modernization of the national educational system on the basis of a personally oriented approach have activated the need to increase attention to the creation of favorable conditions for the development of an independent, creative, viable person with a developed self-respect and a sense of self-value in the family and institutions of education. According to the scientists, it could be promoted by the implementation of the principle of activity in pedagogical practice. Given the above, one of the most urgent tasks of the present is the upbringing in the first-years-life children the ability to make their own choices, make independent decisions, be responsible for their actions, trust their own experience and opportunities, be confident in their actions and deeds. The expedience of studying the phenomenon of self-confidence in early ontogenesis is due to the emergence of such new types of formations of consciousness and personality in the senior preschool age as the expediency of behavior, personal consciousness, the subordination of motives. At the same time, the peculiarities of the formation of this quality of personality in the senior preschool age have not been studied sufficiently. Scientific literature does not provide a single view about the nature and mechanisms of shaping of the self-confidence; age-specific is not differentiated clearly, the factors of upbringing of confident behavior in early ontogenesis are not highlighted; pedagogical conditions of the upbringing of this personal quality in preschool age require specification; the characteristics of self-confidence among representatives of different sexes need to be clarified. The problem of forming the self-confidence is very closely linked to the problem of developing the skills of the assertive behavior of preschool children, which is actively explored in modern native psychology and pedagogy. In the context of the above, the theoretical and experimental aspects of the study of the phenomenon of self-confidence of the senior preschoolers through the prism of trust in their own desires, needs, views, experiences as values are relevant.

The solution strategies of preschool children solving mental-rotation tasks were analyzed in two studies. In the first study n = 111 preschool children had to demonstrate their solution strategy in the Picture Rotation Test (PRT) items by thinking aloud; seven different strategies were identified. In the second study these strategies were confirmed by latent class analysis (LCA) with the PRT data of n = 565 preschool children. In addition, a close relationship was found between the solution strategy and children’s age. Results point to a stage model for the development of mental-rotation ability as measured by the PRT, going from inappropriate strategies like guessing or comparing details, to semiappropriate approaches like choosing the stimulus with the smallest angle discrepancy, to a holistic or analytic strategy. A latent transition analysis (LTA) revealed that the ability to mentally rotate objects can be influenced by training in the preschool age.

Objective: The associations between climate variables and diseases such as respiratory infections, influenza, pediatric seizure, and gastroenteritis have been long appreciated. Infection is the main reason for acute otitis media (AOM) incidence. However, few previous studies explored the correlation between climatic parameters and AOM infections. The most important meteorological factors, temperature, relative humidity, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), were included in this study. We studied the relationship between these meteorological factors and the AOM visits. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study. A linear correlation and a linear regression model were used to explore the AOM visits and meteorological factors. Results: A total of 7075 emergency department visits for AOM were identified. Relative humidity was found an independent risk factor for the AOM visits in preschool children (regression coefficient = −10.841<0, P = .039 < .05), but not in infants and school-age children. Average temperature and PM2.5 were not correlated with AOM visits. Conclusion: Humidity may have a significant inverse impact on the incidence of AOM in preschool-age children.

The article discusses the experience of using models in remedial work with children with mental retardation of preschool age in kindergarten conditions. Examples of outlines of lessons with this category of preschool children 6-7 years old are offered. The reactions of children to the introduction of models are illustrated. The aim of the article is to show that models are an effective technique for children with mental retardation to perceive cognitive material, because they stimulate children to independent voluntary purposeful activity. This is facilitated by the model algorithm, which includes generalized images that are familiar to children and do not cause them difficulties. We have taken into account that for children with mental retardation the operation "comparison" is one of the difficult ones, but through it the relations between objects and phenomena of the external world are learned. Comparison therefore plays an important role in cognition Comparison helps to generalise and systematise knowledge. The process of comparison is a necessary condition for generalisation. The model can help children with mental retardation to find similarities between objects, which for them is rather more difficult than finding differences.

The article gives an analysis of problems of formation of skills in children of the senior preschool age to build stories of different types. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of psycho-pedagogical and special literature, based on the main definition of «building a story», a subordinate term is formulated in relation to the topic of the study: «building stories of different types» The psychological and pedagogical conditions of formation of sustainable skills of creation and expedient use of stories of different types in children of the senior preschool age are revealed and substantiated. The components, criteria, indicators and levels of formation of abilities to build a different type of narration in children of the sixth year of life are determined. The stages of formation of persistent skills for building different types of stories by senior preschoolers are singled out. The lack of effective pedagogical technologies in relation to the formation of skills in the children of the senior preschool age to build and expedient use of narration of comprehensive typing significantly reduces the effective preparation of children to school. The proposed pedagogical and motivational technology for the formation of children of the sixth year of a sustainable ability to create stories of various types provides the small person an effective communicative tool, which will definitely promote its self-realization both in school environment and in career, society, own life. The prospects for further research are outlined, such independent types of stories are presented as a story - an instruction and a story - a presentation.

Abstract Objective : To determine the association between socioeconomic level, gender, stunting and other characteristics with the presence of overweight/obesity in the preschool children . Result : BMI/Age Z score > + 2 SD was found in 19.5% of the children. It was more common among the children from areas with high socio-economic level (OR: 2.43; 95% CI 1.54, 3.84, and p < 0.000) . obesity was higher among the males (OR 1.76; 95% CI 1.09, 2.8, and p < 0.02) compared to females. The increased duration of breast feeding, was significantly associated with increased BMI/Age Z-score (b= 0.027, p < 0.004). Decreased age of the child was significantly associated with increased BMI/Age Z-score (b= - 0.013, p < 0.004). The children with stunted growth were 6.7 times fold likely to have BMI/Age Z Score > + 2 SD compared to the normal children (OR 6.73; 95% CI 3.79, 10.80, and p < 0.000), after allowing for other factors. No significant association was found between allergic disorders and BMI/Age Z score > + 2 SD. Thus male gender, high socioeconomic condition, increased duration of breast feeding and stunting were significantly associated with overweight/obesity in preschool children

Changes in the political, social and economic spheres of modern Kazakhstan society dictate the need to increase attention to the socialization of preschool children in the family and preschool organizations. The integrity of the pedagogical process is understood as the integrity of the processes of socialization and individualization of the preschool child, preservation of the child's nature and its development in culture, enrichment of individual cultural experience in the process of inclusion in the socio-cultural experience, unity of development and education. The modern pedagogical process is designed as a system of conditions that allow each child to realize individual needs and at the same time interact with the children's community. The organization of children's activities initiates the creation of children's associations in which each child performs a favorite function and simultaneously cooperates with other children. In such an educational space, the processes of socialization and individualization leading to preschool age harmoniously complement each other.
