Latchkey Children
Dr. Long is responsible for coining the term latchkey kid and bringing to national attention the hidden plight of latchkey children. A former elementary and middle school principal, Dr. Long noticed her students wearing house keys on chains around their necks. When she interviewed these students she found that they spent an average of two or three hours home alone after school and were often lonely and afraid. The television was the babysitter and the telephone the lifeline. These initial conversations led to exhaustive research, hundreds of interviews with latchkey children, their parents, and former latchkey children. The culmination of her work was published in The Handbook for Latchkey Children and Their Working Parents (with Thomas J. Long) and On My Own: The Kids Self-Care Book as well as in dozens of articles. Dr. Long’s research has been reported by every major news outlet and in hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles.
