註釋Abstract: This booklet discusses the issue of children in self-care. This group of children, also referred to as latchkey or unsupervised children, are difined as those who take care of themselves and/or younger brothers and sisters after school. The publication begins with two chapters on the impact of self-care on these children, including the risks and benefits. The following chapter examines programs which are alternatives to self-care and includes tips on how to select a program. A chapter entitled Self Care Plus, gives suggestions on how to make unsupervised time a safe and positive experience. Suggestions include educational programs, community help lines, check-in and block parent programs, child care for sick children, and employer-based programs. Specific examples of programs are listed. The authors conclude with a section on what needs to be done to improve services for children in self-care.
