Playing makes us happy but we don’t have enough time
23.8.2018
Translation: Eva Francis
According to LEGO’s latest «Play Well Report», families who play together are happier and less stressed. More than a third (38%), however, said they didn’t have enough time to play. Let’s take a closer look at the results of this report.
The report reveals a strong link between how many hours a week families spend playing together and how happy they are: Nine out of ten families (88%) who play five or more hours a week say they are happy, while only seven out of ten (75%) of those who play less than five hours say they are happy. One in ten (10%) families spend less than two hours a week playing.
Even when families take time to play, six out of ten (61%) parents admit that they are distracted by other things in life such as work, household chores and their smartphone. What's alarming is that one child in five (17%) says they are too busy to play and four out of five (81%) wish their parents had more time to play with them.
Digitalisation and games
The report also identifies a generational shift in play patterns and the concerns that come with these changes. Parents are still concerned about the safety and sociability of computer games: 88% say they're concerned about safety on the Internet and 72% fear that children will be less able to think for themselves. However, the report also reveals that the next generation is teaching us to makethe most of the unique opportunities technology offers.
They might be worried, bur parents seem to be showing signs of adopting their children’s mindset: Over half (59%) believe technology can bring a family closer together and three in four (77%) believing digital play can be creative.
Playing to learn
Adults and children alike feel the benefits of playing together. Parents state that playing is good for their own well-being (91%) and that it even helps them to feel more relaxed (86%) and more connected with their children (64%). Almost all children who took part in the survey say playing makes them feel happy (93%) and helps them relax after a long day at school (87%).
