Re: interviews with children

["rophil" <rophil@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a belated suggestion regarding your request about safety measures
for children from a week ago.  I would encourage you to look at Lizette
Peterson's work (not sure if she is still at the U of Missouri).  Much of
her work has been with "latchkey children" but nearly all of it involves
their perceptions of safety, risk, self-care, etc. (mostly in the home, I
believe).  Good luck.
