How to make rural left-behind children grow up healthily and happily

At present, with the deepening of urban and rural economic system reform and the acceleration of China's modernization process, there has also been a large-scale population flow. People go out to work and do business, leaving their children in their original place of residence and entrusting them to grandparents or other relatives for care. These left-behind children are in a critical period of growth and development, unable to enjoy the guidance and help of their parents in ideological understanding and values, lacking emotional attention and care from their parents in the process of growth, prone to deviation in understanding and values, abnormal personality and psychological development, and some people may even embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes. The mental health problems of left-behind children in rural areas are becoming more and more serious, which has become a social problem that can not be ignored.

First, the main manifestations of psychological problems of left-behind children in rural areas

1. Inferiority is common. According to a survey of some left-behind children in rural areas, most of them have a serious sense of inferiority. Because my parents are not around for a long time, I feel helpless and protective. Therefore, compared with children with parents around, they are prone to psychological barriers of inferiority.

2. withdrawn personality and weird behavior. Left-behind children, because their parents are not around for a long time, lack the minimum psychological communication opportunities, lack of people to talk to and ask for help, and their inner troubles and conflicts can not be talked about and guided, resulting in a lack of security and trust in the outside world. This lack of emotion has seriously affected their social interaction with others. They are timid, closed-minded, indifferent, withdrawn, lacking in love and communication initiative. A very small number of left-behind children have been influenced by social bad gangs and have violated discipline or committed crimes.

3. The rebellious mentality is serious. Many left-behind children have poor grades in school, low personality, frequent violation of discipline, arrogance, unsociable, no collectivism, and some have developed bad habits such as smoking, drinking and indulging in online games. Often, many left-behind children are more independent and stronger than other children on the surface, but they are more fragile and vulnerable than other children on the inside. Their mentality is extremely unbalanced, their mood fluctuates greatly, and they are easily hurt in social communication with others, resulting in rebellious psychology and hatred, which leads to bad habits, and some even go astray and embark on the road of illegal crimes.

Children are the future and hope of the motherland, and left-behind children are related to the whole rural education and social progress. At present, these psychological problems of left-behind children will not only cause psychological harm and unstable factors to left-behind children, but also bring hidden dangers to the construction of a harmonious society, and correct measures must be taken to prevent them.

Second, to solve the psychological problems of rural left-behind children countermeasures

1. Strengthen family education and give more care to left-behind children. The classified query of periodical articles is in the periodical library. Parents are children's first teachers, and good family education is the responsibility of parents and guardians. Parents, especially those who go out to work, should always communicate with their children. In addition to caring about children's life, body and study, we should pay more attention to emotional communication and psychological communication with children, so that children can always feel the care and love of their parents. This not only helps to relieve children's tension and anxiety, but also helps children to understand their parents' hard work and hard-won life, understand and respect their parents, and form a correct outlook on life and values. On the other hand, the grandparents, grandparents or other relatives who are in charge of guardianship should treat their children democratically and equally, truly shoulder the responsibility and obligation of raising children, and should not overindulge and indulge them, and should give them scientific management and guidance, thus shaping their healthy psychology.

2. Give play to the leading educational function of the school. As an educational institution for left-behind children, schools should improve the concept of health education and take mental health education as the main way of moral education. Schools should make full use of various educational resources and carry out various forms of mental health education for left-behind children. First of all, the school should strengthen the quality training of teachers, so that teachers can have good psychological quality, give full play to their educational advantages, treat every student fairly and equally, give psychological consideration and warmth, relieve their psychological pressure in time, let children have stable emotions and positive emotions, create a harmonious family atmosphere and meet their spiritual needs; Secondly, the school should organize the class teacher to establish the mental health files and follow-up management files of left-behind children, keep abreast of the overall mental health status of left-behind children, and conduct targeted intervention and management on common psychological and behavioral problems.

3. A special psychological counseling room should be set up, equipped with professional psychological counseling and counseling teachers to provide psychological counseling and counseling services for all teachers and students. We should pay attention to the training of parents and other guardians of left-behind children, so that they can correct their educational concepts, master the methods and skills of communication with children, and combine home and school to better educate children.

4. Left-behind children should strengthen psychological quality training. Mental health education of left-behind children depends on external and internal factors. I think left-behind children should learn to adjust their mentality, learn to be self-confident, self-reliant and self-reliant, regard the reality that their parents are not around as a test and exercise for themselves, learn to correctly handle setbacks and adversity, cultivate a strong will, set goals for themselves, cultivate various interests, correct their learning attitude, keep in touch with teachers and classmates, actively communicate with their parents, improve their independence, firmness and self-control, and let them grow up healthily and happily.

5. Integrate social forces and build a love education platform for left-behind children. In view of the current situation of weak social education, lack of educational resources and outdated educational concepts in some rural areas, the government should formulate relevant policies, organically combine family, school and society through policy encouragement and guidance, and strive to make social education, school education and family education work together to promote the healthy development of left-behind children.
