Abstract	This pilot study of the structural characteristics of daily routines of young children also explored aspects of conceptual framework and research instruments. Four data collection instruments were developed. Two of the three retrospective measures used were questionnaires for mothers about their child's routine on the previous day. The other measure was an interview with mothers about the previous day. In addition, a diary that was carried throughout the day by each child was used by all of the children's caregivers to record each child's activities during the daily routine. The daily routine of a child was considered to be the succession of the different settings the child entered during the course of a day. Settings were described in terms of space and material, and of personal and action dimensions. Two questionnaires and a standardized parent interview were constructed for investigating family background factors, and were implemented with three samples. Reported findings concern four questions: (1) Do the data give differing pieces of information about daily routines of young children? (2) Do different types of daily routines exist? (3) Are different types of daily routines connected with family background factors? (4) Do inexpensive retrospective and expensive diary approaches differ in data quality? (RH)
