The bar chart illustrates the percentage of children in three age groups—1-3 years, 4-5 years, and 6-8 years—participating in five different bedtime activities: reading, brushing teeth, having a bath, watching TV, and eating.
Overall, reading is the most common activity across all age groups, with its popularity increasing as children get older. In contrast, eating is the least frequent bedtime activity for all groups.
For the 1-3 years age group, the highest percentage of children, about 70%, engage in reading, followed by 60% who take a bath. Brushing teeth is less common at around 40%, and fewer children watch TV or eat, at approximately 20% and 10%, respectively.
Among 4-5-year-olds, the trend shifts slightly. Reading remains the most popular activity, with nearly 80% participating, while brushing teeth and having a bath are equally common at around 60%. Watching TV rises to about 30%, and eating is still the least practiced activity at just 5%.
For the oldest group, aged 6-8, reading continues to dominate, with over 75% participation. Brushing teeth becomes more frequent, reaching around 70%, whereas taking a bath declines to 40%. Watching TV sees a slight increase, reaching approximately 35%, but eating remains uncommon at less than 5%.
