About this audiobook

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. There are more than four million grade-school-aged latchkey kids because there are a lot of dual-income parents and single parents in the workforce today.

This audiobook will teach all about raising a latchkey kid. But first, you have to learn the law in your area regarding latchkey kids. You will also learn how to determine whether your child is mature enough to be left on his or her own and you also need to consider your own financial and emotional situation.

This audiobook will discuss the following topics:

- Latchkey Kids and the Law

- Dangers of Being Latchkey

- Benefits of Being a Latchkey Kid

- Maturity Cues That Show Your Child Is Latchkey Ready

- Explaining to Your Child What’s Happening

- Setting Up Your Emergency Contact Network

- Setting Boundaries and Expectations for Your Child

- Dealing with the Unexpected

- And many more!

There are some inherent dangers in being a latchkey kid. But you can mitigate each of them if you’re honest about it and aware. If you want to learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now.
