A bit like when we renamed all the master/slave terminology using different phrasing that's frankly more useful a lot of the time, I think it's about time we got rid of this "child" task nonsense. I suggest "subtask". Then we can reword these books into something that no-one can make stupid jokes about any more, like "how to keep your subs in line" and "how to punish your subs when they've misbehaved".
"How to enter subspace" "How to bind subs"
