Thinking of Children

This book is the second in Singapore Children's Society's series of collected lectures by distinguished speakers on various aspects of childhood. The chapters feature the speakers' personal narratives and professional expertise in their various fields of work, as well as their replies to pertinent questions from members of the public about the issues faced by children growing up in Singapore.
