I was{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (constant) telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

    She and her husband began talking to the children. Fear is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (big) problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children were scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (safe).

    The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower still, under a bed{#blank#}8{#/blank#} in a closet. The second is TV.

In 1972, he won a special Oscar {#blank#}7{#/blank#}his outstanding work in the films that he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in. He made people laugh even when they felt depressed.
