The past decade has seen a steady increase in the problem of unsupervised kids and the risks and dangers associated with them. The second edition of Latchkey Kids offers a fresh outlook on this predicament and recommends future directions. Thoroughly updated with new research conducted between 1996 and 1997, this book posits the latchkey phenomenon in perspective and attempts to dispel common misconceptions.
The authors detail a variety of alternative care programs that have been successfully implemented in many communities, including extended-day programs in public schools, neighborhood "block mothers," and after-school hotlines. Furthermore, this book provides strategies for businesses, government, schools, and libraries that are indirectly faced with significant caregiving responsibilities.
This helpful guide is written for professionals in the fields of counseling, education, family studies, social work, and criminology as well as concerned parents with latchkey kids.
