The conclusion restates the book’s core claim: children have a moral right to adequate and good care, but not to best care. Demands for best care are overly burdensome and distort the ethical structure of parenting. By distinguishing adequacy, goodness and perfection, the book offers a framework that affirms children’s real moral claims while preserving parental autonomy. The conclusion highlights the practical implications of this view for families and institutions, and defends good care as a morally serious, but bounded, achievement of caregiving.

摘要

The conclusion restates the book’s core claim: children have a moral right to adequate and good care, but not to best care. Demands for best care are overly burdensome and distort the ethical structure of parenting. By distinguishing adequacy, goodness and perfection, the book offers a framework that affirms children’s real moral claims while preserving parental autonomy. The conclusion highlights the practical implications of this view for families and institutions, and defends good care as a morally serious, but bounded, achievement of caregiving.
