Here is an interesting UF study about after-school stress:
CLICK HERE FOR ENTIRE ARTICLE "Introduction: Working parents of school age children often worry about what their children are doing after school in the hours before parents get home from work. And the time is significant: “For most full time employed parents, the gap between the end of the school day and the time they arrive home from work is [about] 20-25 hours per week” (Barnett & Gareis, 2006, p. 101), or 4 to 5 hours a day. After-school programs are scarce in many communities, so parents often struggle with unreliable and complicated informal arrangements (Barnett & Gareis, 2006). Or, children care for themselves and in many cases, for younger siblings. Some researchers have found that 44% of 12 year olds were in self-care after school." |
