Eighty percent of families with children under the age of 18 celebrate Children's Day on the last Sunday of May, the Mária Kopp Institute for Population and Family Studies (Kincs) told MTI on Friday based on its survey.
According to the announcement, 64 percent of those surveyed celebrate Children's Day with joint family programs, 33 percent with gifts, and 29 percent with some kind of leisure activity. The younger the respondent, the more important they thought it was to remember Children's Day, they added.
Based on the responses of the participants in the research, 9 out of 10 mothers and fathers say that their child shares their joy with them, and 8 out of 10 parents say that they also share their sorrows. Children primarily turn to their mothers, and parents with large families mostly feel that their children are open to them, they wrote.
According to the announcement, more than a quarter of the respondents with children reported that their relationship with their child became better and closer during the coronavirus epidemic, while two-thirds of them remained the same.
70 percent of parents know their child's friends, and two-thirds of them regularly organize family programs, it was explained based on the research. The survey also covered summer camps: 38 percent of the respondents said that they send their children to camp during the summer holidays. The camps were the most popular with large families: 53 percent of them would like their children to go camping this year, the announcement reads. The nationally representative survey was conducted between May 20 and 23 by interviewing a thousand adults by telephone.
