REALIZATION OF PARENT COMMITTEES’ POTENTIAL IN EXPANDING THE SPACE OF EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES OF TEENAGERS

Abstract

The article examines the issue of parents’ involvement in expanding the space of extracurricular activities for teenagers; it shows the transformation of parental associations from a parent club to a committee that emerged during the formation of civil society, with changes in the relationship between parents and children, which led to changes in their functions. The article discusses the characteristics of families, the typology of families, and the redistribution of parental responsibilities, highlighting the circumstances of parents’ excessive focus on career issues at the expense of spending time with their children and delegating their parenting responsibilities to governesses and nannies. The research also highlights the problematic issues of expanding the educational space outside of school, which expands the range of extracurricular activities. The work also presents the results of diagnostic surveys of parents, which allow to understand the state of the problem of parental involvement in the orientation of teenagers in extracurricular activities.
