Mayol-García  \nP70-212  \nJanuary 2026  \nINTRODUCTION1  \nChildren’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 (Eisenberg et al., 2004; Kalb and van Ours, 2014; Metsäpelto and Pulkkinen, 2014; Felfe et al., 2016; Barger et al., 2019) . Past reports have explored variation in child-parent interaction, extracurriculars, and school engagement by race, ethnicity, poverty status, and other social characteristics. However, little is known about these patterns following the COVID-19 pandemic.  \nThis report uses the Survey of Income Program Participation (SIPP) to examine various child wellbeing measures. The last report examining child well-being using SIPP data was released in 2018 using Wave 1 of the 2014 SIPP.2 We 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, we provide estimates related to family and household characteristics. Second, we discuss patterns in parental interaction. More specifically, we 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.  \n1 The U. S. Census Bureau has reviewed this data product to ensure appropriate access, use, and disclosure avoidance protection of the confidential source data used to produce this product (Data Management System [DMS] number: P-7516454; Disclosure Review Board [DRB] approval number: CBDRB-FY25-SEHSD003-077) . All comparative statements have undergone statistical testing and are statistically significant at the 90 percent significance level, unless otherwise noted.  \n2 Brian Knop and Julie Siebens,“A Child’s Day: Parental Interaction, School Engagement, and Extracurricular Activities: 2014,” Current Population Reports, P70-159, U. S. Census Bureau, Washington, DC, 2018.  \nSurvey of Income and Program Participation Child Well-Being Data  \nThe Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) collects information on a variety of  \nchild well-being indicators to illustrate what children experience daily, including differences in family living arrangements and economic and social environments. There is a section of the survey that asks questions specific to child well-being, such as performance in school, participation in extracurricular activities, and parental engagement (refer to Appendix Table 1 for survey questions and measures used in this report) . For questions about extracurricular activities and school experiences (expulsion/ grade repetition/gifted classes), a parent is asked if each item applies to any children, and then a follow-up question identifies which child(ren) . For questions about parental engagement, parents are asked about involvement for all their children in the home who are in the age universe for the question. In pre-2014 panels, parents were asked each well-being question separately for each child in the age universe for the question.  \nThird, we turn our attention to extracurricular activities, including participation in clubs, lessons, sports, and religious activities. Finally, we conclude the report with educational experiences such as being highly engaged in school, taking gifted classes, repeating a grade, and being suspended or expelled.  \nHOUSEHOLD AND FAMILY CHARACTERISTICS  \nIn 2023, there were 72.4 million children under the age of 18 (Table 1) . Of these, 22.1 million were 5 years of age or under, 24.4 million were aged 6 to 11, and 25.8 million were aged 12 to 17.3 Over onequarter (25 .9 percent) of these children were Hispanic, while 48.6 percent were non-Hispanic Whi","cbCaisSexjUhEhfj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisSexjUhEhfj","pdf",852708,15,"English","# Introduction\n## Children’s interactions, extracurriculars, and school engagement\n# Survey Data and Measures\n## Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)\n# Household and Family Characteristics\n## Children by age group and race/ethnicity\n## Living arrangements and reference parent definition\n# Parental Interaction and Engagement\n## Reading, outings, and family dinner patterns\n# Extracurricular Activities and Educational Experiences\n## Clubs, lessons, sports, and religious activities\n## Gifted classes, grade repetition, and suspension/expulsion","[{\"question\":\"What topics does the report analyze regarding children’s well-being?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on children’s interactions with parents, involvement in extracurricular activities, and engagement in school.
