Since its first publication in 1964, this book has helped two generations of parents and teachers understand what actually happens in the classroom. Holt's astute observation of children, his clear simple style, and his lifelong conviction that we can do better by our children make How Children Fail an enduring classic.

Covering child development, this work explores problems of the only child, of stealing and lying, shyness, sex education in schools and the roots of aggression. It provides insight into child behaviour and parental attitudes.
