REPORT TO PARENTS
By DR. MARTHA M. ELIOT
Chief Children’s Bureau
HWow many “latch-key” chil
dren are there in the nation?
There is no statistical way of
telling until these “latch-key”
children emefe as juvenile court
cases; until, even if they do not be
come law-breakers, they emerge
in society as personalities con
fused by problems of maladjust
ment.
What is a “latch-key child? A
case was reported to us at the
Children's Bureau. The child lived,
with his mother, in an overcrowd
ed subdivision. His father had
deserted the family., His mother
had to be the breadwinner.
Fach morning, when she went
to work, she left her five-and-a
half year old son at home to play.
“And when children come home

from school at twelve o'clock, that
is the time for you to go to kinder
garten,” she told him,
The little boy stayed home and
“played” during the morning. He
had no warm food for lunch. When
twelve o’clock came, and he saw
the returning children, he would
run off into the backyard and hide.
He was a chronic kindergarten
truant,
To other children in the neigh
borhcod, he was an unhappy lit
tle boy who compensated for his
unhappiness by being very ag
gressive, prepetually getting into
fights, and being selfish about his
toys.
He was, for all practieal pur
poses, a “latch-key” child,
His mother, caught in an ec
' onomic vise, had to continue
’her job in order to provide the
essentials of life for herself and
' her son. She could not afford to
'place her child in a private day
care program operated by an in
dividual for profit. The day care
program spensored by public andl
private welfare agencies, where !
fees would be charged in relation |
to her ability to pay, had long |
waiting lists. |
The mother could only “wait
it out” until her child could enter‘
primary school, and even then she
had no assurance his primary
education would not be on a
half-day basis, because of over
crowded school conditions. {
This is a very real problem and
we have good reason to believe
that the case cited here, found in |
a Jarge eastern city, is neither uni- |
que nor unusual.
What can be done about it?
Just before World War II broke
out, the Children’s Bureau called
a conference in Washington to
discuss immediate steps to be
taken to assure adequate day care
for children of working mothers.
The conferees declared themselves
of the belief that “when mothers
go to work there is an obligation
on the part of the community to
help parents plan for their children
in such a way that the children
shall gain and not lose by the ex
perience.”
As a result of the conference,
standards on day care were esta
blished for programs whether
“public or private, free or pay,
all-day or part-day, under home,
school, public-health or social
service auspices.”
Ten years have passed, and in
the gathering mobilization we can
again expect an increasing number
of mothers to be drawn into em
ployment.
During the decade, there has
been general acceptance of the
standards set up for day care of
children, But the communities of
the nation have become lacka
daisical in supplying enough good
programs for such care to meet the
mounting need. |
State and local authorities should |
give as much thought to develop- ‘
ing adequate day care programs
as they do to developing adequate |
school programs. The nation’s re- |
scources in children should not be |
weakened by depriving growing
minds and bodies ¢f the chance
for full, normal development,
