The influence of adults is indisputably important for the overall evolution of the child as well as the way how they participate, encourage or interfere with children's play. Adults are expected to provide the child with a spatial and temporal ambience for play, encouraging and directing them, but not to impose their ideas and attitudes on the child. The research proven in this graduate thesis showed us that parents (93%) and educators (100%) are not spending enough time playing together with their child. As a reasons for that are the lack of time, too much work, too large groups of children in which the possibility of individual dedication to the child is taken away, as well as the time intended for a joint play. Only 7% parents think that they spend enough time playing together with their children. Children (91%) state that they lack the shared time and game wich they spend with their parents and educators, and that they would like adults to spend more time with them.What children have criticized in adults, and the truthfulness of the claims is unquestionable, is too much talking, too much cell phone use, anger for non-compliance with the rules and the imposition of their own rules. This research confirmed that the assumption we set out to explore, and assumption is that parents and educators, given the lifestyle and working conditions, still do not participate enough in children's play, but they consider it important for children's evolution. We assumed that childrens like to play with their parents and friends the most and that they would like from their parents and educators to play with them more.
