    Perceptions of Play Among Mothers and Fathers from Low-Income Households in Türkiye
    (Springer, 2024) Kurt, Serife Hulya; Ozgun, Ozkan
    In this phenomenological study, we explored the play perceptions of parents with young children from low-income households in T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected through individual semi-structured interviews with 36 parents (18 mothers and 18 fathers), all of whom have children in their early childhood years. We transcribed the interviews and conducted a thematic analysis. The findings illuminate the diverse perceptions of children's play among parents in low-income households, highlighting a shared recognition of play as a social activity and a source of joy, while also revealing differing views. Parents in the study generally value studying, health, and familial love and respect above play. Their control over children's playtime is significantly influenced by concerns over academic performance and safety. Mothers are typically the primary participants in children's play due to their increased presence at home, while fathers' participation is significantly limited by work obligations and exhaustion.

    Play Experiences and Perceptions of Young Children Living in Disadvantaged Socioeconomic and Cultural Contexts in Turkey
    (Springer, 2023) Kurt, Serife Hulya; Ozgun, Ozkan
    This phenomenological study examined the play experiences and perceptions of eighteen 5- to 6-year-old children from three disadvantaged socioeconomic and cultural contexts in Turkey. Data were generated through semi-structured individual interviews with children. Results indicated that children's play experiences and perceptions were influenced by the context and cultural characteristics in which they lived. Children defined play as the various activities they choose to do primarily outdoors, and their play experiences varied in relation to their parents' attitudes, socioeconomic opportunities, culture-specific judgments, and affordances of their physical environment. Parents set limits on their children's play and play spaces due to safety concerns, possibility of damaging property, and responsibilities which the children were expected to fulfill. However, children were usually allowed to play outside within hearing distance of their parents, provided that they completed their homework and avoided risks and danger. Although the children had limited play materials, gender stereotypes were quite evident in their play materials and playmate preferences. Participant children reported that their parents usually did not play with them as well as did not prefer them to become playmates with children of the opposite gender.
