Summary

On the first day of school, September 1974, a young girl approached her fifth grade teacher and said, "I think it's about time adults heard from children how to raise children, not just other adults...;" So began the story of How to Grow a Child-the passionate, insightful and honest words of six inner-city children challenging and helping adults to see and appreciate a child's point of view. So too began an enduring friendship between teacher and students. Now, as adults with children of their own, three of the authors and their teacher, Bernard Percy, bring the story full circle as they reflect on the influence their advice has had on their own lives and their children's.
