Based on research about after-school experiences and dilemmas
conducted over a four-year period with employed parents and their
children, this book draws on the stories these parents and children
told--often using their actual words--to emphasize the wide variety
of children's after-school arrangements, children's movement over
time in and out of different arrangements, and the importance to
children of multiple facets of their after-school arrangements, not
simply the presence or absence of an adult caretaker. The book also
emphasizes that children are not randomly assigned to after-school
arrangements. Rather, parents and children struggle to reach
optimal solutions to what are often difficult child care dilemmas.
To understand these dilemmas, and the diverse strategies that
families adopt, one must attend to the individual situations of
children as family members understand them. This book was written
to contribute to the development of new family and work policies
and practices by illuminating the difficulties families face and
their consequences for children. Written for psychologists,
sociologists, and other social scientists who study families,
maternal employment, child care, or child development, it will also
be useful for parents, educators, community leaders, and public
policymakers concerned about the well being of children whose
parents are employed.
