Strong families : competent kids. Parents' guide

Abstract

The decision to leave a child in self-care is a serious and sometimes scary one ... for both children and parents. The Strong Families: Competent Kids program has been developed by Virginia Cooperative Extension to offer education to families on the subject of children in self-care. It is the objective of this program to make both children and parents aware of the many issues that need to be considered when deciding to leave a child without adult supervision.
