How should left-behind children in rural areas pay attention to their mental health?

Left-behind children are a common phenomenon in our rural areas, because parents work outside to earn money all the year round, leaving only the elderly and children at home, and children are left behind by their parents all the year round. The mental health of left-behind children can not be ignored. As parents of children, although we can't accompany them in time, we can use modern and convenient means of transportation to interact more with the Internet. Care about every moment of your child's growth, have more video calls with your child, and understand your child's true thoughts.

As parents, we don't want to leave our hometown to work in other places, but we often have to do so in order to make a living. Many times, although the environment and conditions of family life have been improved, the growth and education of children have been neglected, making children more and more unfamiliar with us. I think we should pay attention to children's mental health from the following aspects:

(1) No matter how busy you are at work, you should take time to go home and see the children. Now the traffic is developed, holidays are gradually increasing, and it is very convenient to take trains, high-speed trains and motor trains. If you have time, go home and see the children more often, or take them to live together. Even if it's only for a few days, it can make children excited. The company of grandparents can't replace fatherly love and maternal love.

(2) If we are busy at work, but unwilling to pay high travel expenses, we can interact with our children by video on our mobile phones every day. I think this is not difficult to do in today's society! It's simple, just a smart phone and wireless network. We can see the recent situation of children's lives through videos, and we can also detect the changes in children's hearts in time.

(3) Ask your child's inner needs and send toys and clothes back to your child regularly to make your child happy. Don't always urge children to study, but pay more attention to their lives and inner feelings. If you care about your child's grades blindly, it will widen your strangeness with your child.

For children, their needs are sometimes very simple, that is, they can have dinner with their parents and attend a parent-teacher meeting with their parents.
