This article is half-baked. How were parents spending less time with their children? Day-care facilities have greater attendance than ever.
Were relatives watching the children?
What age ranges were covered?
Without more information, the graphs are meaningless.
Maybe it's due to children having more unsupervised, outdoor play. Maybe it's due to relatives watching children more. If the age range is 0-5 years, the results are astonishing. If the age range is 0-18 years, then perhaps it's just a remnant of the shift from rural to urban populations, and the decrease of outside-the-home time by teenagers.
- astura 9y agoThis is not surprising. When I was growing up kids mainly entertained themselves or each other the vast majority of the time. When I was a kid 99.9% of the time I did my own thing and didn't interact very much with adults. Now people want to entertain their kids all the time.
