Family Growth

High rates of nonmarital fertility and divorce mean that many fathers do not live with some or all of their children. Using the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, this research compares socioeconomic and family characteristics among men with only coresidential children ( n = 762), with both coresidential and nonresidential children ( n = 107), and with only nonresidential children ( n = 367) and examines the factors that influence men's visitation with nonresidential children. Men with only nonresidential children are more disadvantaged than men with both coresidential and nonresidential children, who in turn are more disadvantaged than men with only coresidential children. Although competing obligations to coresidential children affect visitation with nonresidential children, other factors are also important. In particular, the number of both coresidential sons and daughters negatively affects visitation. Men visit nonresidential children more frequently when they were married or cohabiting at birth, and visitation is negatively related to the age of nonresidential children.

The U.S

The U.S. period TFR has declined steadily since the Great Recession, to 1.73 children in 2018, the lowest level since the 1970s. This pattern could mean that current childbearing cohorts will end up with fewer children than previous cohorts or this same pattern could be an artifact of a tempo distortion if individuals are simply postponing births they plan to eventually have. In this research note, we use data on current parity and future intended births from the 2006-2017 National Survey of Family Growth to shed light on this issue. We find that total intended parity declined (from 2.26 in 2006-2010 to 2.16 children in 2013-2017), and the proportion of women intending to remain childless increased slightly. Decomposition indicated that the decline was not due to changes in population composition, but rather changes in the subgroup rates themselves. The decline in intended parity is particularly notable at young ages and among Latinxs. These results indicate that although tempo distortion is likely an important contributor to the decline in TFR, it is not the sole explanation: U.S. individuals are intending to have fewer children than their immediate predecessors, which may translate into a decline in cohort completed parity. However, the change in intended parity is modest and average intended parity remains above two children.

Objective. To describe the content of anticipatory guidance provided to parents of infants and toddlers and to identify primary areas of unmet need as reported by both parents and pediatricians. Methods. Parent data were obtained from the National Survey of Early Childhood Health, a nationally representative sample of parents of 2068 US children aged 4 to 35 months. Pediatrician data were obtained from the Periodic Survey of Fellows, a national survey of members of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Results. Parents and pediatricians tend to agree on the relative ranking of which topics are most frequently addressed. Parents and pediatricians both report that the traditional topics of preventive care—immunizations, feeding issues, and sleep patterns—are most frequently discussed, whereas topics that were more recently introduced into pediatric care related to developmental needs and family context are less commonly addressed. Parent-reported discussion of these topics include reading (discussed for 61% of children 19-35 months) and child care (discussed for 26% of children 19-35 months). Parent reports of some unmet need—defined as topics not discussed that the parent believes would have been helpful to them—affect 36% of children aged 4 to 9 months and 56% of children aged 10 to 35 months and are highest for the topics of discipline strategies and toilet training. Other specific areas of unmet need reported by at least 15% of parents are burn prevention, child care, reading, vocabulary development, and social development. Rates of unmet need vary with family characteristics and health system factors, including maternal education, race/ethnicity, and length of well-child visits. Conclusion. Parents and pediatricians report high rates of discussion on many topics that are critical to healthy development in the first years of life. They also identify areas of need that largely address health supervision on developmental topics. Findings indicate that additional research is needed to understand issues related to specific topic areas as well as the dynamics of personal and system factors that determine what is discussed.
