Abstract: Children's interactions with parents, involvement in extracurricular activities, and engagement in school are linked to emotional support and security, social and cognitive development, academic success, social skills, and other aspects of child well-being. This report uses the Survey of Income Program Participation (SIPP) to examine various child wellbeing measures. The authors provide updated estimates in this report using the 2023 SIPP, with particular attention to the most recent data as well as to trends over time. First, the authors provide estimates related to family and household characteristics. Second, they discuss patterns in parental interaction. More specifically, the authors showcase trends in how frequently children are read to, how often they go on outings with parents, and how often they eat dinner with their families.
