ABSTRACT    Niemi, Paula. & Vihersaari, Juuli. 2015. "Is children's clumsiness overprotective parents' fault?" Master's thesis in physical education. The Faculty of Physical Education, University of Jyväskylä, 82, 2 appendices.    Physical activity develops the fundamental motor skills that children need in order to succeed in their daily lives and to be able to learn new things about the surrounding world (Sääkslahti 2005, 13). The fundamental motor skills are essential skills and skills combinations for all human movement (Pangrazzi 2001, 298; Gabbard, 2004, 285-286; Gallahue et al. 2012, 15). The purpose of our master's thesis was to study the perceptions regarding children's physical skills. Our target group was the people who have been writing on the Internet forum of Yleis-radio. In particular we were looking for an answer to the following question: How do the online column writers explain the children's physical skills and whom do they think is respon-sible for the development? The study was a qualitative case study. We carried out the data-analysis as data-based content analysis and it was supported by a quantitative analysis called quantification. The material used in our study was the comments written on the forum be-tween 24th of September and 31st of October the year 2013. In total there were 130 written comments. The research material included a textual material of 36 pages (Calibri body 11, spacing 1,15). It was written by 129 different persons who used pseudonyms when writing the comments.     The analysis resulted in five main categories that explained children's physical skills: 1) social factors, 2) individual factors, 3) environment, 4) society and 5) other comments regarding physical skills. The main categories included explanations for children’s poor physical skills, how they can be affected, and who is seen to be responsible of developing the skills. “Social factors” was the largest category and the discussion included motivations and limitations of physical activity, providing possibilities for physical activity and guidance for parents and educators. In the category “Individual factors” the child’s poor physical skills were explained mostly by the individual differences. “Environment” –category contained a discussion of functional training, the sports environment and its safety as well as the screen time. In the category “Society” the change of the society and the responsibility of the educational institu-tions was discussed. “Other comments regarding”- category contained individual factors that are thought to affect child's physical skills.    Internet forums are a modern way to openly express the thoughts and get support from the other writers. This study showed that the people who write on the forum explained the chil-dren’s poor physical skills with several different factors. The responsibility of developing children's physical skills was in differing degrees seen to belong to the parents, educators, sports clubs, childcare clinics or the society.    Keywords: children under school age, physical activity, basic motor skills, forum, parental perceptions
