摘要：Leisure time is a space that should allow for the fulfillment of different needs, such as play, fun, gaining of new skills, build-up of relationships, self strengthening and many others. During adolescence, coevals become more “important” than the family, hence the needs which were previously fulfilled within a family are in that time fulfilled among coevals. Within a coeval group, young people find the needed support for their attitudes, interests, motives, views of life. It is for this reason, as well as for some other reasons, that the contemporary literature dealing with children and young people with behavioral disorders and those with risk of such disorders assesses the free or leisure time as an important area during which many behavioral risks appear. This time is also assessed as an area in which strength for prevention may be found, as well as potentials for early diagnose and appropriate expert attention and action. This research is a part of the project Socio-pedagogical diagnosis – user participation in the process of needs' assessment and intervention planning. The project was drafted aiming to help in assessment of a child's potentials and its environment and to find better ways of upbringing and socialization. Subject of this paper is only a part of a bigger picture, and is related to free or leisure time. Twenty children and young people with behavioral disorders (all in the process of needs' assessment and intervention planning) were tested. Subjects were 12-17 years old. Half-structured interviews were conducted, and data were elaborated using the qualitative method, through shrinking and structuring using the Nvivo software.
