Abstract

A leisure activity of children and adolescents is one of the factors of their well-being and health. The impact of leisure is based on experiencing positive emotions and establishing relationships with other people, as well as on moderating stress and its effects. Nowadays online learning for children is expanding, variety of classes and sections is becoming more accessible and diversified, the outdoor time decreased while screen time increased. Understanding of how children spend their time and how it relates to their health and well-being is an actual problem of the current scientific knowledge, the research on this problem makes it possible to assess child quality of life, to predict successful development of children during their growing up and to develop recommendations for parents and teachers. The aim of the study is to review the results and findings of the studies on the structure and factors of the leisure activity of children and adolescents as indicator of their well-being. It has been shown that leisure activity of children and adolescents is an important factor of successful development. Children's and adolescents' use of time differs depending on the socio-demographic characteristics of family and child gender. Leisure activities are associated with such indicators of successful development as emotional and behavioral problems, academic achievement, somatic health, cognitive function, life satisfaction and self-esteem. However, the nature of the identified patterns, the causal relationships and the role of children individual characteristics in the relationship between leisure activities and child outcomes remains unclear.
