- Abstract:
- The chapter highlights issues of a significant impact on teenagers’ development, identity, socialization and future life depending on how they spend their free time as it is an important transitional situation in adolescence, which helps to bridge the gap between childhood play and work in adulthood. Structured and organized programmes and activities create a beneficial environment for youth development. However, the home environment should be considered the first and, perhaps, the most important, in the context of the positive development of young people. One of the theoretical models that has been created as a useful basis for studying family leisure in recent years has become the core and balance model of the functioning of family leisure. The model based on family systems theory indicates that participation in various forms of family leisure contributes to the functioning of the family in different ways. People tend to seek stability and changes, variety, acquaintance and freshness in their leisure time. At the same time, studying the difference in responses of parents and young people showed that parents are more satisfied with their family life when they were involved in family leisure that was new and challenging, thereby addressing the family's need for change and promoting learning and improving adaptive skills and youth abilities. Young people, on the contrary, turned out to be more in need of stability, constancy and regularity in their preferences for family leisure.
