Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine in which ways parents spend their leisure time with their nursery-school children. The research was conducted in 11 institutions located in Gdańsk: 8 nursery schools and 3 nursery de-partments in primary schools. The establishments chosen for the study were public pre-schools and non-public preschools both well prepared for physical activities (equipped with physical activity halls) and badly prepared for physical activities (not equipped with physi-cal activity halls). Nursery departments in primary schools were the fifth studied group. 190 parents from all the mentioned establishments took part in the survey. The research was based on a diagnostic survey using a questionnaire for parents. The survey results show that watching television is the most popular way of spending free time with nursery-school children among the PNZW (almost 93%). Among the parents of PPDW children, reading books with them is the most popu-lar way of spending free time (p < 0,05). Activities in outdoor playgrounds are most common ways of spending free time wi-th children for the parents from PNDW and PPZW – respectively 72.7% and 70.8%. Physical activities based on exercises undertaken with children (p < 0.05) mostly engage parents of PNDW children (27.3%) Based on parents’ statements the largest group of children spending their free time in an active way was the group of OPSP children (p < 0.05) and at weekends also OPSP (94.4%) and PNDW (90%) children. Parents with higher education tend to spend more time with their children at home, reading books, playing, watching television or using the computer. In groups where 1/3 of the respondents have secondary education, parents are more like-ly to undertake active forms of leisure – playing on a playground and walking. The biggest group of respondents with voca-tional and secondary education is the most physically active when spending free time with children by bicycle riding.
