title: When mom is out working: dads do take care of the kids.
abstract: The mothers of more than nine million children less than five years of age are employed. Fathers provide child care services for 16 percent of these children during the mother's working hours. Recent reports by Bureau of the Census are reviewed to provide practitioners with an overview of the fathers who will be bringing their preschoolers to dental offices for services.
