Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parental interactions through play contribute significantly to child development of cognitive and executive functioning skills. In Thailand, there is little evidence of factors contributing to parental\u2013child interactions.<\/p>\n

In response to SDG target 4.2.3 monitoring (the percentage of children under 5 years<\/p>\n

The author analyzed data from the Sixth Round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), conducted by the National Statistical Office of Thailand in 2019. The survey involved face-to-face interviews with mothers and\/or legal guardians. A total of 8,856 children under the age of five participated in the survey.<\/p>\n

Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that children raised by parents with secondary or post-secondary educations had a significantly greater chance to have parental interactions than children raised by parents who completed primary education (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.66, and AOR = 2.34 for secondary and post-secondary education)<\/p>\n

Children who possessed three or more children\u2019s books and had experience of toy play had a significantly higher chance of having parental interactions (AOR = 3.08 for book possessing, and AOR = 1.50 for the experience of toy play).<\/p>\n

Children who spent 1\u20133 h daily screen time had a significantly lower chance of having parental interactions than those who spent less than one hour of screen time (AOR = 0.67).<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong> with the emerging influence of digital technology, we recommend family and community promote parental interactions through play with young children.<\/p>\n
