In Thailand, there is limited evidence on the factors influencing such interactions. To support the monitoring of SDG indicator 4.2.3 (the proportion of children under age 5 who are developmentally on track in health, learning, and psychosocial well-being, based on home-based learning activities), this study aims to assess the frequency and characteristics of parent\u2013child interactions through play among children under five years of age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The findings revealed that the majority of participants (90.3%) engaged in at least four out of six types of activities with their children.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This study employed logistic regression analysis to examine the factors associated with<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multivariate analysis showed that children whose parents had attained a secondary or higher level of education were significantly more likely to engage in interactions with their parents compared to those whose parents had only primary education. The adjusted odds ratios (AOR) were 1.66 for secondary education and 2.34 for education beyond secondary level, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children who had access to at least three children's books and had play experiences with toys were significantly more likely to engage in parent\u2013child interactions (AOR = 3.08 for having children's books; AOR = 1.50 for play experiences with toys). Conversely, children who had screen time of 1\u20133 hours per day were significantly less likely to engage in interactions with their parents compared to those with less than one hour of screen time (AOR = 0.67).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, given the growing influence of digital technology, we recommend that families and communities promote parent\u2013child interactions through play with young children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keywords<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Young Children; Parent\u2013Child Interaction; Play-Based Learning; Early Childhood
