Studied the
extent to which types of after-school care in grades one, three,
and five predict behavioral adjustment and academic performance
in grade six. Found that higher amounts of self care predicted poorer
adjustment, particularly for children displaying behavior problems
in kindergarten or not participating in adult-supervised extracurricular
activities. (MT)
