The graph below shows the percentage of time Australian parents spent helping their children with some sort of activities in 2013. On the one hand, Australian mothers helped their children the most in dressing, with a score of around 75 per cent, while fathers spent only around 15 per cent of their time helping children in the same exact activity. On the other hand, both fathers and mothers spent around 70 percent of their time playing games with their kids, which is quite enormous compared to the percentage of time spent on other necessary activities.
In addition, mothers spent almost half of their time helping their sons and daughters with their school homework, unlike fathers, who spent only 13 percent of their time helping in that sector. Also, there are some activities that require the two of them to help with, such as preparing for bed and drawing. Moreover, both mothers and fathers spent almost 52 percent of their day and nighttime helping their toddlers prepare for bed, which is quite a lot of time; meanwhile, they spent around 23% of their time helping their children with art and drawing, which is a necessary activity that can play an important role in shaping their hobbies and interests.
To sum up, it’s clear from the given chart that Australian mothers contributed more than fathers in helping their own children with the activities in 2013.
