The main object of this research focused on the public and private kindergarten children in Taipei County. By using the questionnaire method, every class took 3 children on the roll book randomly of the 374 kindergartens in the whole county, then to request the children’s parents, the teacher and the director of the kindergarten to fill in the questionnaire. The number of the effective questionnaires retrieved from the parent edition is 2129, the teacher edition is 740, and the kindergarten environment edition is 269.
The study finally found as below: 1.Most children can do well in the positive healthy behavior, including taking a bath, washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet, brushing teeth before sleep. But at the same time, nearly 1/5 of the child fail to brush teeth after getting up, and more than 1/3 of the child do not have enough sleep. On the contrary, the most negative healthy behaviors are eating sweet snack, drinking sugar beverage, and going to bed exceeding 10 o''clock pm. 2. Relevant factors of the healthy behavior may have some correlation from the survey (1) the relationship between the positive diet behavior and the healthy belief of the main caregiver, and the degree of the family interaction; (2) the relationship between the negative diet behavior and the sex of the child, the only son, and the healthy belief of the teacher; (3) the relationship between the dynamic recreation activity and the sex of the child, the only son, mother''s age, the degree of the family interaction, the teacher''s healthy relevant in-service training, and the healthy food and beverage offered by the kindergarten; (4) the relationship between the static recreation activity and the sex of the child, age, mother''s age, the healthy belief of the main caregiver, and the degree of the family interaction; (5) the relationship between the healthy life habit and the child’s age, the working time of the mother, the healthy belief of the main caregiver, the degree of the family interaction, the healthy belief of the teacher, and the healthy food and beverage offered by the kindergarten.
According to this study, it was proposed that 1.because the childhood is the key stage to cultivate the well diet habits, the relevant healthy promotion and intervention planning should begin since the stage of the kindergarten; 2.because the healthy behavior of the child was deeply influenced by the healthy belief of the parents and the teacher, they should enhance some relevant knowledge in children’s behavior and healthy belief; 3.because the degree of the family interaction is an important factor to the child’s healthy behavior, therefore, it encourages the parents to spend more time to get along with the child.
