What are the manifestations of mental health problems of left-behind children in rural areas?

With the development of economy, there are more employment opportunities in cities, and more and more people flock to cities, resulting in a large number of left-behind children in rural areas. The latest survey shows that there are still 9.02 million left-behind children in rural areas of China, 90% of whom are located in western provinces. Left-behind children are a group that we can't ignore, and their healthy growth deserves more attention. There are many manifestations of mental health problems of left-behind children in rural areas, mainly the following.

1, social anxiety. Children left behind in rural areas have been separated from their parents for a long time. Because they are in a loveless environment, their anxiety level is higher than that of ordinary children, especially social anxiety. Anxiety has a great influence on children's mental health. Being anxious for a long time will not only affect the efficiency of work and study. For children, long-term anxiety will seriously affect their learning state, and long-term anxiety will cause a particularly heavy psychological burden to children. Specifically, left-behind children in rural areas often feel inferior, have no confidence in themselves and have a weaker grasp of opportunities than other children.

2. Have negative emotional experience. Left-behind children in rural areas rarely meet their parents when they grow up, which easily leads to the lack of children's emotions. When parents need care and love, but their parents are not around, children will easily feel lonely and will also breed grievances and sadness. Take the parent-teacher conference at school as an example. When you see that other students have parents who can't come, your children will become sensitive and feel inferior. It can be said that loneliness is the most emotional experience of left-behind children, and grievances and sensitive inferiority are their most emotional feelings.

3. The character is defective. The lack of love will directly affect the personality formation of left-behind children in rural areas. Parents' love for their children is irreplaceable, and no one else can replace it. Left-behind children lack opportunities to communicate with their parents, and it is difficult for them to appreciate their care and love, and it is also difficult for them to get timely help from their parents. Therefore, left-behind children are more likely to be self-enclosed and unwilling or rarely in contact with the outside world. In the long run, some left-behind children will show closed, indifferent, withdrawn and cowardly personality characteristics.
