The purpose of this study was to describe the daily activities of Canadian children outside of school. Participants were parents of N = 189 children (90 boys, 99 girls) in grades 1 to 3. The What Your Child Did Today parental telephone interview protocol was developed as a daily log of both the type and social context of children’s activities. Among the results, children spent almost half of their waking time in unstructured activities (e.g. free play), compared to 14 percent of on-screen, and 6 percent in structured activities (e.g. sports). Children spent about two-thirds of their time in the company of family followed by peers (22%), and only 10 percent of time was spent alone. Some gender differences were also noted (e.g. boys engaged in more screen time) and parental education was related to time spent in structured activities. Results are discussed in terms of implications for children’s socio-emotional development.

您的孩子今天做什么？描述幼儿在校外的日常活动

这项研究的目的是描述加拿大儿童在校外的日常活动。参加者是1到3年级的N = 189名儿童（90名男孩，99名女孩）的父母。“您的孩子今天做了什么”父母电话访谈协议被开发为每天记录儿童活动的类型和社会背景。在这些结果中，儿童几乎将其醒来时间的一半用于非结构性活动（例如，免费游戏），而在屏幕上则占14％，而在结构性活动（例如，运动）中占6％。孩子们大约有三分之二的时间是在家庭陪伴下，其次是同伴（22％），而只有10％的时间是独自度过的。还注意到一些性别差异（例如，男孩从事更多的放映时间），并且父母的教育与花在有组织的活动上的时间有关。
