Abstract

The article analyses the representations of preschool childrens parents about their childs play activity. First of all the research deals with the consideration of place of joint play of children and parents in general structure of family leisure time and involvement of parents in childs play (as a participant or as a manager of a role-playing game). Besides we analyze preschoolers game preferences: favorite toys and games of children. The article is based on the materials obtained from the sociological poll of 1936 parents, whose children attend Moscow kindergartens. The research was conducted by the Institute of Sociology of Education (Russian Academy of Education) in 1997. During the analysis of the materials special attention was given to the influence of various demographic and socially-stratification factors on the answers of parents about play activity of preschoolers.
