As a child, I got a lot of quality time with my family.
Or I spent (a lot of) quality time with my parents.
My parents/family spent (a lot of) quality time with me
I think quality time captures "плодотворно " best.
Here's the definition from Wikipedia:
"Quality time" (QT) is an informal reference to time spent with loved ones (e.g., close family, partners or friends) that is in some way important, special, productive or profitable. It is time that is set aside for paying full and undivided attention to the person or matter at hand. It may also refer to time spent performing some favorite activity.

Interviewee: Недаром говорят, что все идет из семьи. Мне повезло. В детстве со мной много и плодотворно занимались. Причем подход к обучению был совершенно нетрадиционный: посещение театра, выставок, концертов
