Guide and Grow: The Essential Guide on How to Successfully Guide Your Child to Grow Up as a Latchkey Kid
All over the US, children are going home after school and spending time alone until their parents get home from work. This is what a latchkey kid is. The term came about because they have their own key, usually on a chain hung from their neck, to unlock their home each day when they’re done with school. They typically have no adult supervision for two to three hours each evening while they wait for their parents to come home.
