“…Unstructured activities lack adult supervision and typically take place in public spaces, without a specific skill development objective, but rather emphasizing socialization (Ibabe et al, 2023).

“…Research has linked non-structured activities to risk factors in adolescents, including alcohol and substance use (Prieto-Damm et al, 2019), lower academic performance (Badura et al, 2018), deficient inhibitory control goals and skills, and problematic screen use (Ibabe et al, 2023). While some argue that at the very least, nonstructured activities do not contribute positively to development (Caldwell, 2008), the effective management of positive frustration in unstructured activities appears to be a more complex challenge for parents.…”

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.

“…These positive effects may also impact school performance (Badura et al, 2021 ; Bean et al, 2019 ; Eime et al, 2013 ; Murphy et al, 2022 ). In addition, organized leisure activities are associated with better executive functions, compared with unstructured leisure time and extensive screen time (Ibabe et al, 2023 ). Yet, adolescents’ participation in organized leisure activities decreased in favour of unstructured activities during the last three decades.…”

Adolescents’ school performance is influenced by several factors and meaningful leisure time, especially organized activities, has great potential to impact academic results. Therefore, this study aimed to gain a greater understanding of how community actors perceive meaningful leisure time and how they work to create meaningful leisure time with the intention of increasing the chances for more adolescents completing upper secondary school. Semi-structured interviews with 14 informants, representing nine different community actors in a middle-sized city in Sweden, were conducted and analysed using content analysis. Results suggest that meaningful leisure time positively impacts adolescents’ mental health through social relations, support, and guidance. Leisure is believed to have spillover effects on reducing stress, manage school demands and performance. Nevertheless, leisure time activities and school performance must be balanced with time and effort. Community actors work proactively with availability, individual approaches, and offering activities to create meaning. From a societal perspective, places to hang out with supportive adults, in particular structured activities, should be regarded as a social investment in adolescents’ health and prospects, especially in deprived areas where fewer activities are available. Finally, ensuring meaningful leisure time is in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
