Summary

This study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of a yoga-based psychosocial development program developed in line with the literature to improve the social, emotional and behavioral skills and quality of life of healthy preschool children. Watson's Human Care Model constitutes the theoretical framework of the study. The sample of the study, which will be conducted in a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group, consists of healthy children aged 60-72 months. The g\*power 3.1.9.4 program was used to determine the sample size and it was determined that there should be at least 34 people in each group. The program consists of moving music activities, yoga postures accompanied by stories, breathing techniques and self-massage practices. The program will be implemented by the researcher, who has received specialty training in child yoga, for 30 minutes a day, two days a week for 6 weeks. Data will be collected using the Parent and Child Descriptive Data Form, Program Participation Form, Child Self-Assessment Form, Social Emotional Well-Being and Psychological Resilience Scale for Preschool Children, Social Competence and Behavior Rating Scale-30 and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. As a result of this study, positive effects are expected on the social, emotional, behavioral skills and quality of life of children to whom the psychosocial development program is applied.
