Abstract

 This article explores the key psychological factors that motivate and enhance physical activity among preschool-aged children. Given that early childhood is a critical period for physical and emotional development, the promotion of physical activity must consider not only physiological needs but also cognitive and emotional readiness. The study identifies several influential factors including parental involvement, teacher preparedness, motivation through play, emotional encouragement, and the overall psychosocial environment. The research also examines the role of psychological preparedness among educators and families in shaping children’s attitudes toward movement and active lifestyles. The findings suggest that creating a supportive, emotionally responsive, and engaging environment significantly increases preschoolers' willingness and enthusiasm to participate in physical activities.
