A new study from economists at University of California, San Diego analyzes available data from the last 35 years to measure how much time parents are spending actively with their children, participating in activities such as taking them to school, helping with homework, bathing them, playing catch with them in the back yard. According to the study, today’s college-educated mothers spend an average of 21. 2 hours a week actively caring for their children, while women with less education spend an average of 15. 9 hours. It has risen since 1995, when the average was just 12 hours.
Dads are spending more time tossing the ball around, too: pre-1995 fathers with college educations only spent about 4. 5 hours a week playing with their children. Today, the average has more than doubled. For fathers with a high school education, the total has still gone up, from 3. 7 hours to 6. 8.
Today’s parents are doing a great job balancing life and work and even though you may want even more time at home with your children. A Families and Work Institute study shows that your kids don’t care so much about that. They just want you to enjoy the time you do spend with them. “Kids were more likely to wish that their parents were less tired and less stressed,” Galinsky said.
So when you’re at your son’s soccer game, put the Blackberry away, and cheer him on instead.
