I led him home, holding his hand, the way you would with a three-year-old.
Explanation:
Seedfolks is a collection of children short stories from various ethnic groups living in the United States. One of the stories is Gonzalo's, a teenager from Guatemala who moved to the United States with his mom, dad, younger brothers, and his Tío Juan (grand uncle from his mother's side).
His Tío Juan cannot speak English and the only work he knows how to do is farming. He believes that: "The older you are, the younger you get when you move to the United States," which he says because his parents and grand uncle seem to behave more child-like and are as helpless as one since they cannot speak English as well as Gonzalo.
Thus, his attitude towards his Tío Juan is best exemplified by the statement above, based on Gonzalo's perception of him.
