Abstract

The increasing use of technology in early childhood has created a situation where children's outdoor physical activity is declining. This study aims to understand parents' practices, perceptions, and experiences in motivating their children to engage in outdoor physical activity. A qualitative approach was used, with interviews as the main data collection method and observation. Participants in this study were parents who have children aged 3-6 years. The results highlighted various strategies used by parents, including behavioral modeling, creation of a supportive environment, and direct involvement in playing with children. In addition, factors such as parents' education level and perceptions of the importance of physical activity also influenced how parents supported children. The implications of these findings are for the development of educational programs for parents and policies to increase early childhood physical activity outdoors.
