Full description

Preschool (three-six years) is a period in which the physical, psychomotor, social-emotional, cognitive and language development of the child is completed to a large extent. In this period when the growth-development process is very important, healthy and regular sleep plays an active role in many developmental areas of children, especially in brain development. For this reason, examining and arranging the sleep habits of children in the preschool period is of great importance for the healthy completion of the process. The aim of this study is to determine the sleep habits of children in the 5-6 age group and to determine the effect of children's yoga on these habits. This study was planned to determine the effect of the "Little Yogis Doing Yoga" Program, which will be created within the scope of the research, on instilling sleep habits in children aged 5-6 years.
