She shows how children actively seek to “get closer” to ill guardians by providing good care. Both children and ill adults define good care as attentiveness of the young to adults’ physical needs, the ability to carry out treatment and medication programs in the home, and above all, the need to maintain physical closeness and proximity. Children understand that losing their guardians will not only be emotionally devastating, but that such loss is likely to set them adrift in Zambian society, where education and advancement depend on maintaining familial, reciprocal relationships.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href='\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/childrenascaregivers\/\"'\u003eView a gallery of images from the book (https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/childrenascaregivers)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href='\"https:\/\/d3tto5i5w9ogdd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/17185801\/9780813588063.pdf\"'\u003eDownload the open access ebook.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
