Thousands of children grew up with little or no parental guidance, and as a result, many of them are battling psychological and emotional problems as adults. These latchkey children are mostly unaware of how their upbringing has affected their present, but in Growing Up Latchkey, the author explores how she and others were affected by growing up largely unsupervised. Darla K. Johnson, PhD, draws on her background as a psychotherapist, psychologist, and spiritual counselor to explore the dynamics of latchkey families that had to contend with energy crises, the Cold War, recessions, and long hours at work. In these families, many children spent their entire K–12 experience getting themselves ready for school, arriving home to no parent greeting them, and in the author’s case—having no one to protect them from an abusive sibling. Johnson eventually developed post-traumatic stress disorder, but she overcame her symptoms to live a fulfilling and happy life. Join the author on a deep personal journey that holds lessons for educators, employers, therapists, and parents on helping people recover from and avoid fear and torment from childhood traumas.

Just Messing Around is a zany rollercoaster ride through a latchkey child’s world of antics and misadventures, laughter and fisticuffs, skirting problems, and hatching wacky schemes. The author, like so many of his generation, lived an unsupervised childhood that characterized many suburban Long Island communities of the early 60s. Absent parents, these kids ran wild in their rural, suburban world. They saw themselves as frontiersmen, daredevils, and self-confessed hellions. These children were also alone way too much, sometimes frightened, and in serious need of discipline and hugs. This heartwarming collection of stories, seen through the eyes of one kid, depicts their lives of roaming fields and woods, surviving their daily, madcap adventures, exploring haunted farmhouses, and, as we kids would say, just messing around.

We latchkey kids never understood how much our parents gave up for us. Other than a holiday trip to the city, their urban day jobs were a mystery to us. We grew up off of potato fields, and woodlands, rolling pastures and apple farms, where our childhood adventures played out. Unchaperoned, we ran wild under those suburban skies.

In 1945, the Smith family moved to Elmsford, New York, a suburban community known for its plentiful elm trees and Ford cars. Dad, who liked the fast pace and bright lights of New York City, stayed behind, leaving Mom to raise five kids. With little parental supervision, the Smith children became latch-key kids, essentially raising themselves. Mom and Dad eventually decided to get back together, and the family moved back to New York City. But when heroin swept through the city like a white tornado, the Smiths’ peaceful lives would never be the same again! In Growing Up Too Fast, Dying Too Young, author Courtney Miller chronicles his life as a latch-key kid and shares the pain of his brothers’ fatal love affair with drugs. With his family torn apart by heroin, Courtney chooses a different path and discovers hope and purpose in Jehovah. His memoir offers a raw and honest look at children who grow up too fast…and die far too young.

Growing up on a Manchester council estate was tough in the '70s. But when your mother is a cold woman with little time or care for you, beats you regularly, forgets to feed you and your sister, orders you out of the house each day and leaves you home alone at night, it's little wonder you find yourself on the wrong path in life. The Latch Key Kid is the author's moving and powerful memoir which delves deep into his early childhood and adolescent struggles. But unlike other tales of unfortunate circumstance, this frank and at times heart-breaking story also depicts the author's journey of living with a relatively unknown mental health condition called 'anhedonia'. This condition suspends its sufferers at a zero level on the emotional scale - so they never feel pleasure, happiness, joy, excitement, or even sadness in the same way everyone else does. All that's left is an overwhelming sense of injustice: how can everyone else listen to a song and feel the urge to dance? How can people eat a meal and then smile with satisfaction? Why do people see a goal on a football pitch and get all fired up? When all Mike feels is nothing? But, whilst this disorder has made the author's life unimaginably different from yours or mine, it is anhedonia that has prevented him from going under - even when pushed to extremes. Now happily married, with five children and a successful business, Mike tells the hard-hitting story of how his double-edged sword - anhedonia - has shaped his life. This is not based on a True Story it is a True Story.

Growing Up Laughing is a compelling autobiographical journey--hilarious and heartfelt, intimate and inspiring. It is a book that only Marlo Thomas could write. For as long as Thomas can remember, she's lived with laughter. Born to comedy royalty--TV and nightclub star Danny Thomas--she grew up among legendary funny men, carved much of her career in comedy and, to this day, surrounds herself with people who love and live to make others laugh. Thomas takes us on a funny and heartwarming adventure, from her Beverly Hills childhood, to her groundbreaking creation of That Girl and Free to Be . . . You and Me, to her marriage to talk-show king Phil Donahue. Her youth was star-studded--Milton Berle performed magic tricks (badly) at her backyard birthday parties. George Burns, Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Bob Newhart and other great comics passed countless hours gathered around her family's dinner table. And behind it all was the rich laughter nurtured by a close and loving family. Growing Up Laughing is not just the story of an iconic entertainer, but also the story of comedy. In a voice that is curious, generous and often gleeful, Thomas not only opens the doors on the funny in her own life, but in a series of insightful and hilarious interviews also explores the comic roots of today's most celebrated comedians.

Parenting is difficult under the best of circumstances--but extremely daunting when humanity faces cataclysmic annihilation. When the dead rise, hardship, violence and the ever-present threat of flesh-eating zombies will adversely affect parents and children alike. Depending on their age, children will have little chance of surviving a single encounter with the undead, let alone the unending peril of the Zombie Apocalypse. The key to their survival--and thus the survival of the species--will be the caregiving they receive. Drawing on psychological theory and real-world research on developmental status, grief, trauma, mental illness, and child-rearing in stressful environments, this book critically examines factors influencing parenting, and the likely outcomes of different caregiving techniques in the hypothetical landscape of the living dead.

From Legacy Media to Going Viral: Generational Media Use and Citizen Engagement examines how the prominent media available shapes each rising generation of citizens. The authors discuss how global and national events along with the media each generational group most frequently accessed defined these groups. Drawing on interdisciplinary social science insights into social media and civic and political engagement, the book contextualizes the civic and political rise of the Millennials and Gen Z with comparative insights from Gen X and the Baby Boomers. With a focus on emergent patterns of American citizenship, the authors examine issues such as a decline in social trust, new and sustained patterns of civic and political engagement and the continuing importance of political consumerism. Looking beyond the impact of media on youth and issues of civic and political generational change, this book explores how the media accessible to each American generation contributes to that generation’s collective experience, thus solidifying their civic and political attitudes. The book will be of interest to students and scholars concerned with civic and political engagement, political consumerism and media use, in the areas of media studies, advertising, communication, journalism, political science and sociology.
