Description

Explore the complex realities of childhood through The After-school Lives of Children by Psychology Press. Based on a four-year research study involving employed parents and their children, this book uses the actual words and stories of participants to provide a deep look into after-school experiences. Rather than focusing solely on whether an adult is present, the text examines the wide variety of arrangements children navigate and how these situations change over time. It provides insight into the different facets of after-school life, moving beyond simple caretaking models to show how children experience their time alone or with others. This work is essential for those studying the sociological aspects of family life and child development.
