Abstract

Parents face many challenges when raising a child, and how a parent handles these situations and their outcomes influence that parent’s perception of their success. This current research determined that there were not specific routines a parent engages in when interacting one-on-one with their child each day which positively correlate with reported parental satisfaction (Ha1). However, there are specific routines that a parent engages in when a family participates in activities together as a family unit that have a positive correlation with reported parental satisfaction (Ha2). A quantitative descriptive, variable-centered correlation design was utilized to understand the linear relationship between the dependent variable (perceived parenting satisfaction) and eight independent variables (the eight subscales of the Family Time and Routines Index). The analysis used Pearson’s r to ascertain single linear relationships and, finally, multiple regression analysis to predict which independent variables have the most significant impact on perceived parenting satisfaction.
