The more love, the more hurt： Analysis of parents and children＇s relationship in Sons and lovers

The novel Sons and lovers, written by D. H. Lawrence, describes the state that the relationship between husband and wife loses balance. That is to say, power of the wife in the family is so strong that the wife, Mrs. Morel controls the whole family but not Mr. Morel. It also informs readers the process of how she comes to change her pure maternity to the passion between man and woman after she can＇t reform her husband and can＇t find the ideal lover image in her husband. This thesis tries to analyze the formation of imbalanced relationship between husband and wife, its expression, its influence on the children and significance on family education. Meanwhile, it also warns us of the importance of family atmosphere and family education to the healthy growth of children.

The Promise and Dilemma of the Mediated Parent-Teacher Relationship in the Age of Social Networking Sites

Based on an ethnographic study on two cohorts of teachers and parents in China,this article reveals that social networking sites(SNS)have widened the channel for parents and teachers to establish and maintain a relationship,and has formed an online“community of practice”to promote such collaborations.Yet,this could be accomplished only at the expense of teachers’professional and personal boundaries becoming increasingly blurred,which has emerged as a potential risk for their professionalism.Moreover,such a“community of practice”has also opened up a new space for winning or losing at the educational game for parents from different background,which has inadvertently led to widening the arena for the operation of old mechanisms of social inequality.This study suggests that further investigation should be conducted to examine the potential of SNS in the parent−teacher relationship.

The effects of parental relationships,and gender and grade differences on depressive disorder in Chinese adolescents:the evidence from multiple cross-sectional surveys(1999-2016)

This study aims to investigate the impacts of parental relationships,gender,and grade differences on depressive disorder among Chinese adolescents over a time period of nearly 20 years.The first survey took place in 1999 and involved 852 stu-dents;subsequent follow-up surveys took place in 2006,2009 and 2016,with 3345 students involved in total.Depressive disorder was measured by SCL-90-R(Chi-nese version).The surveys also collected social-demographic information about the respondents.Three indicators of parental relationships were examined-parental quarrels,parental disharmony and parental divorce.The results show that gender was significantly associated with adolescents’depressive disorder and that there was a higher prevalence of depressive disorder among senior middle school students than among junior middle school students,except in 1999.Troubled parental rela-tionships were associated with high risks of depressive disorder.Coefficients and 95%CI were adjusted for the survey years(1999,2006,2009,2016),school grades(junior or senior middle school students),gender(girls/boys),parental quarrels(yes/no),parental disharmony(yes/no),and parental divorce(yes/no).Logistic regres-sion indicated that parental divorce and gender were the two strongest predictors of the presence of depressive disorder.In summary,there was a higher prevalence of depressive disorder among girls and senior middle school students.Adolescents are vulnerable to depressive disorder in cases of parental divorce.Therefore,good parental relationships may be considered an important and necessary factor that affects the susceptibility of Chinese adolescents to depressive disorder.
