“…The differences could be due to culture-related reasons and/or lack of adequate active recreation facilities in and around neighborhoods of specific segments of the population. The other race-related effects in Table 4 indicate the higher participation levels of Caucasian-American children with their mothers and with no parents in social/meal activities, and lower (higher) participation levels of AfricanAmerican children with their fathers (with no parents) (Cooksey and Fondell (1996) and Hofferth (2003) also observed the lower participation levels of children with their fathers in African-American households relative to the Caucasian-American households). Additional research is needed to examine these race effects.…”

This paper examines the discretionary time-use of children, including the social context of children's participations. Specifically, the paper examines participation and time investment in in-home leisure as well as five different types of out-of-home discretionary activities: (1) shopping, (2) social, (3) meals, (4) passive recreation (i.e., physically inactive recreation, such as going to the movies or a concert), and (5) active recreation (i.e., physically active recreation, such as playing tennis or running). The social context of children's activity participation is also examined by focusing on the accompanying individuals in children's activity engagement. The accompanying arrangement is classified into one of six categories: (1) alone, (2) with mother and no one else, (3) with father and no one else, (4) with both mother and father, and no one else, (5) with other individuals, but no parents, and (6) with other individuals and one or both parents. findings also emphasize the need to collect, in future travel surveys, more extensive and higher quality data capturing the intra-and inter-household interactions between individuals (including children). To our knowledge, the research in this paper is the first transportation-related study to rigorously and comprehensively analyze the social dimension of children's activity participation.

ABSTRACT. Research substantiates that fathers' interactions with their children can exert a positive influence on their children's development. This report suggests ways pediatricians can enhance fathers' caregiving involvement by offering specific, culturally sensitive advice and how pediatricians might change their office practices to support and increase fathers' active involvement in their children's care and development.

“…Cooksey & Fondell [9] Results indicated that the fathers eat just over half of their breakfasts and dinners with their children, several times per month had leisure activities but fewer activities at home. The desired outcome of the study was achieved by combination of factors such as availability of parents in the ward and parents were free from their household/office work.…”
