I researched the parent's leisure time in my graduation work. My questions were how the parents define the leisure time, what help they need for organization and spending the leisure time and which challenges are they facing with. I was also interested what the leisure time means to the parents, what influence they attribute to the leisure time and how they spend it.
The research is qualitative, empiric and explorative. The pattern is non-accidental and occasional.
The parents define the leisure time ass the time out of work, when they can freely choose the activity. The leisure time has a relaxing and connective influence to parents and the whole family. The parents mostly spend leisure time at sports and entertaining activities, in the leisure time for themselves, with the partner or with the whole family. The non-formal net to care for the children is good help to make good spending of leisure time where it exists. Good help are also organized activities like festivals and the Super parent project.
The leisure time of the parents would have to be more researched. The parents would also have to be stimulated and helped to spend their leisure time well.
