The given bar graph illustrates time how many time spent in four distinct activities by Australian parents with a view to helping their children.
Overall, it is discernible from the chart that mothers in this country dedicate most to dressing and homework, while both parents spend the majority of their time playing games and preparing for bed with their childrens. Another noticeable feature is that fathers account for the least percentage of time spent in all categories.
Looking first at activities that mothers spend the most quality time with their children, mothers make up by far the highest figure, at two-third, nearly four times that of both parents. In contrast, fathers allocate only under 5% of their time to this activity, which is also the lowest data in the chart. As for homework, mothers also take the lead with half of their time being shared with their children, but this is still lower than that of dressing. The figure for both parents is gradually lower, at nearly 40%,nearly double that of dressing, while that of fathers is far lower, representing 12%.
Turning to the remaining categories, both parents contribute their time to playing games with their children, at 70% , nearly triple the involvement of mothers in this activity, whereas fathers witnessed only a mere 5% participation. Regarding preparing for bed, despite having a slower figure than playing games, both parents also come in first place in preparing for bed, with 50% of time being devoted. This was followed by mothers at over 40%, five times as fathers.
