Description

Explore the complex realities of childhood through The After-school Lives of Children: Alone and With Others While Parents Work. Published by Psychology Press, this book provides a deep look into the daily experiences of children and employed parents. Based on extensive research conducted over a four-year period, the text uses the actual words and stories told by families to present a realistic view of after-school life. Instead of looking only at whether an adult is present, this work examines the wide variety of arrangements children navigate. It tracks how children move in and out of different settings over time and highlights the various facets that make these arrangements meaningful. This book is an essential resource for understanding how after-school environments shape the lives of children in modern society.

Examines the wide variety of after-school arrangements and how they change over time.
