core message

According to the new guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), it is important to promote the health of children under 5 years of age to increase their physical activity, reduce their sitting time and ensure a good night’s sleep. Improving children’s physical, mental health and well-being can help prevent obesity and related illnesses later in life.

background

Failure to comply with current physical activity recommendations is responsible for 5 million deaths in all age groups worldwide each year. Currently over 23% of adults and 80% of adolescents are not sufficiently physically active. When healthy physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and sleeping habits become established early in life, it helps shape habits during childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood.

Where to with the child?

Desperate parents sit at the end of July in the citizen consultation hour of Monika Herrmann (The Greens), the mayor of Berlin-Kreuzberg: they cannot find a place in a daycare center.

Large cities are particularly affected. In Leipzig, the police recently moved in because 450 people were queuing for a daycare center and the queue was blocking traffic. For families affected, especially for single parents, the lack of childcare places can become an existential question. "It mostly affects women, so you can talk plain text," says Herrmann in conversation.

They fidget, can not understand the learning material or remember little. They become aggressive or depressed – their lack of concentration becomes a problem.

If you really want to help your child to concentrate better, you should know what "concentration" is. The next step is to identify the cause of the lack of concentration. If the cause is known, methods and support can be found that are tailored to individual problems.
