A Day in the Life of a Child
A Child's Day: 2004 examines the well-being of children younger than 18 and provides an updated look into how they spend their days. This series of 30 tables published by the U.S. Census Bureau is based on the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and addresses children's living arrangements, family characteristics, time spent in child care, academic experience, extracurricular activities, and more. These days, some teenagers are finding that their parents are playing a more active role in their lives. In 2004, nearly 47 percent of all teenagers had restrictions on how much television they watched, what programs they watched, and what time they watched television, up from only 40 percent with television restrictions 10 years earlier.
