Findings from the qualitative Part 2010
- Children place great value on self-determined time
- Media consumption in the available time represents a critical topic for children and their parents
- Differ greatly in the number of contact persons they report: all children report more contacts with adults
- Those who "give the orders" are almost exclusively adults
- Children define poor and rich at the extreme poles, conceiving both primarily in terms of material need

40% form the average with a moderate appraisal
26% of the children experience a high appraisal of their own opinion

What all children need for a "good life"
Self-efficacy, that is the development of self-esteem, self-confidence, and both personal and social competence, is a key factor that opens up the way for children to develop a "good life.“
The best predictor of the development of self-efficacy in children aged 6–11 years is their perceived appraisal of their own opinion.
Further factors that promote self-efficacy are a large circle of friends and varied leisure-time activities.
In contrast, our analysis shows that precarious life situations in the form of poverty or a lack of parental care are the main framing conditions that hinder the development of self-efficacy. Poverty does not just exclude. It also prevents children from developing self-esteem and competence.
