Note: PSI scores were derived from the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form. Subscale abbreviations are as follows: PSI GD = General Distress subscale; PSI PD = Parenting Distress subscale; PSI RP = Rewards Parent subscale; PSI CD = Child Demandingness subscale; PSI DC = Difficult Child subscale (Zaidman-Zait et al., 2011). Time indicates parent estimated hours spent engaging in the same activity with their child on a typical weekday or weekend day. Parent and Child Enjoyment were derived from parent estimates of the amount of time parents and children are enjoying themselves during shared activities (rated from 0–100% of the time)

**. Correlation is significant is significant at the 0.001 level
