The modern society spends less and time on physical activities and recreation in their leisure time, which the research results have shown. It can be said that the results show a golden mean, which is not surprising considering the inactive, sedentary way of life. Starting from the early ages onwards, children are not motivated to do physical activity and move. Parents organise the free time according to their own needs, which results in the children staying safe in a confined space, regardless of whether they are active or not, or whether they are playing video games or running around. Parents play a great role in a child’s life. They do not spend enough time with their children in fresh air, taking walks; they confine the freedom of movement and exploration; they are overly cautious and protective over their children. When asked about the choice of leisure activities that do not suit the interest of their child, as many as nine examinees are of the opinion that they are, in fact, not suitable. However, they are unaware that it is them, as parents, who are the motivators of their children. Because of that, the awareness of the physical wellbeing of children is lost. This also indicated that it is necessary to start an initiative to influence the population and influence the people’s attitude towards physical activity. In order for the world to change, each and every person must start from themselves and influence their environment. Those who are the most likely to adopt new attitudes are children. It is necessary to act from an early age by encouraging motor activities, movement and freedom of play in the field, but less in confined parks. The tasks begins here for parents, but continues throughout preschool and school.
