“…However, they do not account for development and learning, which limits their applicability in the present research context. Moreover, when playing music is considered in these models at all, it is surprisingly lumped together with more consumptive activities, including watching TV, for example, in the widely used Family Leisure Activity Profile (FLAP; Melton & Ellis, 2019). It has been shown that watching TV can cause sleep disturbances in young children (Paavonen et al, 2006), whereas bedtime routines such as book reading or singing can promote better sleep and well-being in children of similar age (Hale et al, 2011).…”

Singing and playing musical instruments is seen as beneficial for parent–child relationships. Using longitudinal data from the German Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics (Pairfam) we investigate the role of specific facets of parent–child relationships as predictors of family musical activity, namely Intimacy, that is, the degree of mutual sharing of thoughts and feelings, Admiration, that is, positive affirmative attitudes, and Prosocial Behavior, that is, showing empathy and consideration for others. Study 1 included responses from a total of N = 1,339 parents (71% mothers) and N = 1,783 children (52% male), and Study 2 differentiates between specific subsamples of parent–child relations. Data were submitted to a series of regression models. Study 1 showed that higher values of Intimacy were associated with greater music activities for both parent and child even when general levels of music activities decreased over time. Study 2 addressed cases in which mothers and fathers independently assessed the same child. The results showed similar patterns of association for both parents and children across studies. In addition, mothers perceived higher levels of family music activities than did fathers. Finally, high levels of Intimacy were associated with increased family music activity against the general trend of decline. Taken together, a strong and consistent pattern of a positive relationship between, on the one hand, mutual parent–child perceptions of trust and confidence, that is, Intimacy, and on the other hand, music activity, was found. These results confirm and extend earlier work to suggest a certain role of the quality of family relationships in pursuing musical activities from childhood to adolescence.

“…Finalmente, aunque no resulta una tarea fácil determinar la forma de medir fenómenos socioeducativos sujetos a componentes subjetivos, se solicitó a los expertos que identificaran las variables más relevantes en el estudio del ocio familiar. Siguiendo la línea de investigación ya existente, centran la atención en el contenido, frecuencia y duración de las actividades de ocio familiar (Smith et al, 2009;Melton y Ellis, 2019). No obstante, también amplían la visión hacia la consideración de otras variables que enfatizan sus posibilidades educativas en el núcleo familiar (de Costa et al, 2020;Varela y Maroñas, 2019).…”

Dentro de los estudios de ocio, el familiar es el más insuficientemente tratado. No estamos ante un ámbito, sino ante una modalidad concreta con características especificas que merece ser investigado como elemento pedagógico que está inerte en la vida familiar. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la opinión de expertos en ocio y tiempo libre sobre las amenazas, oportunidades, fortalezas, debilidades, tipologías, agentes y beneficios del ocio familiar, así como los valores y capacidades que desarrolla. Se optó por un diseño mixto con una recogida de datos cualitativa mediante la entrevista a 18 expertos y una cuantificación mediante categorías de la información obtenida. Los expertos señalan como principales fortalezas y oportunidades del ocio familiar la comunicación y la cohesión, la conciliación y diferencias generacionales como debilidades y amenazas que lo obstaculizan, predominando las experiencias deportivas, domésticas y culturales promovidas por instituciones públicas, centros educativos y asociaciones. Igualmente, el respeto y la tolerancia son los valores más trabajados desde estas prácticas familiares y lo social, emocional y conductual resultan las capacidades principalmente fomentadas. Se concluye la necesidad de diseñar instrumentos a partir de las aportaciones de los expertos, que permitan indagar empíricamente estos aspectos del ocio familiar y establecer prácticas de investigación evaluativas al respecto.

“…It occurs within the context of non-formal education, promoting rest, enjoyment, and the development of social bonds ( Da Costa et al, 2020 ). This form of leisure encourages slow, stable, and sustainable maturation processes that imbue life with meaning ( Melton, 2017 ; Townsend et al, 2017 ; Kang et al, 2019 ; Melton and Ellis, 2019 ). It distinguishes itself from the consumption of experiences characterized by intense, fleeting emotions ( Caride, 2012 ).…”

Potential connection between positive frustration in family leisure time and the promotion of adolescent autonomy

Family relationships during leisure time in adolescence have the potential to promote positive development, particularly in terms of autonomy. However, the scientific literature that links specifically positive family leisure to the development of adolescent autonomy is scarce, and lower when analyzing the role of frustration in leisure time. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) this article examines the potential relationship between positive frustration in family leisure time and the promotion of adolescent autonomy. For that purpose, the manuscript addresses four objectives to be discussed consecutively: (1) to delimit the concept of adolescent autonomy and point out the difficulty of parental support; (2) to explore positive frustration, a concept aligned with Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of flow, as a construct that can promote socio-emotional development in adolescence; (3) to describe the components of family leisure; and (4) to understand how the experience of optimal frustration may be linked to the development of adolescent autonomy during family leisure time. From this central question, several additional inquiries emerge: the interplay of frustration and failure in adolescence, the importance of parents and adolescents spending quality time together, the enjoyment in structured family leisure time, the autonomy-supportive parenting in leisure time activities in relation to daily activities, the need to strengthen adolescent bonds developed in infancy, and the complexity of paternal and maternal autonomy granting.
