Books by Deborah Belle

This book reviews the extant literature on children's after-school worlds and presents qualitative and quantitative data from a longitudinal study by the author. For developmentalists, family specialists, educators, policy makers, and parents!

Beginning by considering whether or not children need after-school supervision, this text then discusses such issues as changes in after-school arrangements over time, the challenges associated with such change, and after-school arrangements and children's well-being.
