All she's left with is a blind overprotective love for her son, but even that is now pushed to the brink as she comes to terms with her actions and those of Tom's.Quin worked for Tom and knows exactly what he's done because she helped him do it - she turned a blind eye to the corners he cut and the lies he told. Now, she's lost everything and it's her own fault. She wants revenge.Then she meets Lucille on the train and finds herself facing her past and her future.Rich in detail and epic in scope, The Good Child is a powerful novel of emotional and financial resilience, loss and unexpected friendship.

Download or read book The Good Child written by Jing Xu and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese academic traditions take zuo ren—self-fulfillment in terms of moral cultivation—as the ultimate goal of education. To many in contemporary China, however, the nation seems gripped by moral decay, the result of rapid and profound social change over the course of the twentieth century. Placing Chinese children, alternately seen as China's greatest hope and derided as self-centered "little emperors," at the center of her analysis, Jing Xu investigates the effects of these transformations on the moral development of the nation's youngest generation. The Good Child examines preschool-aged children in Shanghai, tracing how Chinese socialization beliefs and methods influence their construction of a moral world. Delving into the growing pains of an increasingly competitive and changing educational environment, Xu documents the confusion, struggles, and anxieties of today's parents, educators, and grandparents, as well as the striking creativity of their children in shaping their own moral practices. Her innovative blend of anthropology and psychology reveals the interplay of their dialogues and debates, illuminating how young children's nascent moral dispositions are selected, expressed or repressed, and modulated in daily experiences.

Book excerpt: In this book, the preeminent child psychologist of our time gives us the results of his lifelong effort to determine what is most crucial in successful child-rearing. His purpose is not to give parents preset rules for raising their children, but rather to show them how to develop their own insights so that they will understand their own and their children's behavior in different situations and how to cope with it. Above all, he warns, parents must not indulge their impulse to try to create the child they would like to have, but should instead help each child fully develop into the person he or she would like to be.

Download or read book Good Qualities Become a Good Child written by Chanakya Taranga Galappatty and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My aim in publishing this book is to give a helping hand and to introduce some facts which are necessary for better development of a child. Good qualities will ultimately help to bring up a good citizen.Most of the parents want their child to become a professional. But they do not think about the development of good qualities in the child, which is the most important thing. Dangerous aspect of this is the continuous stress building up within the child's mind which can lead to failure in exams and all other efforts. This can divert children towards night clubs, drug addiction, and underworld activities.Parents should not limit the freedom of the child by focusing only on studies. If they bring up the child with good qualities and happiness, automatically the child will become a good professional with good qualities. Even though some parents have enough money, they do not have the knowledge and the skills to bring up a mentally balanced child. This makes the child stressed up from time to time leading the family and the society into trouble.I believe this book will help the parents to bring up their children in a better way.

Book excerpt: A young man reexamines his childhood memories of strange visions and erratic behavior to answer disturbing questions that continue to haunt him and his new family in this psychological thriller named a Washington Post best book of 2007. Thirty-year-old George Davies can’t bring himself to hold his newborn son. After months of accepting his lame excuses and strange behavior, his wife has had enough. She demands that he see a therapist, and George, desperate to save his unraveling marriage and redeem himself as a father and husband, reluctantly agrees. As he delves into his childhood memories, he begins to recall things he hasn’t thought of in twenty years. Events, people, and strange situations come rushing back. The odd, rambling letters his father sent home before he died. The jovial mother who started dating too soon after his father’s death. A boy who appeared one night when George was lonely, then told him secrets he didn’t want to know. How no one believed this new friend was real and that he was responsible for the bad things that were happening. Terrified by all that he has forgotten, George struggles to remember what really happened in the months following his father’s death. Were his ominous visions and erratic behavior the product of a grief-stricken child’s overactive imagination? Or were his father’s colleagues, who blamed a darker, more malevolent force, right to look to the supernatural as a means to end George’s suffering? Twenty years later, George still does not know. But when a mysterious murder is revealed, remembering the past becomes the only way George can protect himself--and his young family. A psychological thriller in the tradition of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History--with shades of The Exorcist--A Good and Happy Child leaves you questioning the things you remember and frightened of the things you’ve forgotten. “Beautifully written and perfectly structured. . . .

Bestselling and esteemed creator Lauren Child has beautifully crafted this charmingly fresh and humorous exploration of individuality and being yourself. Her vibrant illustrations celebrate the story of two siblings discovering who they are, and how liberating it is to move beyond labels and be their authentic selves.
