Wprowadzenie: Niniejsza praca, poprzez ścisły przegląd literatury, ma na celu zwrócenie uwagi na to, jak emocje, aktywność fizyczna i zdrowa dieta mogą wpływać na samopoczucie psychofizyczne w dzieciństwie, szczególnie w wieku 3–12 lat. Cel badań: Przeprowadzono analizę badań i tekstów na temat relacji między emocjami, odżywianiem, aktywnością fizyczną dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym i szkolnym. W artykule skupiono się na dogłębnym przeszukaniu bibliografii w najważniejszych wyszukiwarkach poprzez analizę protokołów/artykułów naukowych opublikowanych w latach 2010–2022 w międzynarodowych czasopismach branżowych. Stan wiedzy: Zaprezentowano badania dotyczące tego, w jakim stopniu emocje mogą wpływać na dobrostan psychofizyczny w wieku rozwojowym z uwzględnieniem zależności między emocjami a aktywnością fizyczną, emocjami a odżywianiem, aktywnością fizyczną a odżywianiem. Podsumowanie: Zdolność regulacji emocji ma istotne znaczenie, ponieważ wpływa ona na proces edukacyjny dziecka, kontekst szkolny oraz dobrostan fizyczny, emocjonalny, poznawczy i społeczny. Wykazana interakcja emocji z odżywaniem i aktywnością fizyczną wskazuje na konieczność dalszych analiz empirycznych w tym zakresie.
