American adults view time spent with children as a much stronger source of happiness and meaningfulness than time spent with others, according to an analysis of a recent survey.
The Institute for Family Studies recently released its analysis of the 2021 American Time Use Survey. The study examined the well-being ratings of U.S. adults between the ages of 25 and 50, especially when participating in activities with children.
