Abstract

The article considers the interdisciplinary approach to improving work with preschoolers in the sphere of health promotion based on humanitarian ideas. Health promotion is a form of developmental work, and health promotion in general - an integral part of developing education in pre-schools. This trend is gradually taking shape on the “junction” of physiology, pediatrics, pedagogy, child psychology. The author assumes that the health and illness are both a condition and a result of relationship between spirit and body, which to a large extent a human builds by himself. Particular attention is paid to the development of the imagination as a means of health promotion among children. Performing of specific movements by children does not just lead to some new images, but in a special way makes children “live” in these images.
