It was found that both mothers and fathers, especially those with a college education, were spending significantly more time with their children by 2007 than they did pre-1995.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s taking them to school, helping with homework, bathing them, playing catch with them in the back yard,&#8221; Erik Hurst said a co-author of the leisure-time paper and economist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. &#8220;Those are the activities that have increased over the last 15 to 20 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[HPI note: At this article&#8217;s original source, the most viewed comment read: &#8220;While time may be increasing, I&#8217;m not so certain quality time is on the rise. How often do parents plop their kids in front of TV and watch a show with them rather than doing a learning activity such as making a craft or playing a game? I guess car time could be considered quality time&#8230;but not when kids are given Gameboys to preoccupy their attention.&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: well.blogs.nytimes.com UNITED STATES, April 5, 2010: The surprising results new study find that today&#8217;s parents are spending far more,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8978\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
