How to pay attention to the physical and mental development and health of left behind children

Left-behind children will have some problems due to the lack of guidance and education from their parents during the critical period, and their mental health will also be affected, which is manifested in the following ways:

First, self-isolation, withdrawn personality, children in early childhood and parents separated for a long time, so that children can not feel the impact of a sound family on their growth, but also lack the sense of security and belonging, so it brings a strong sense of loneliness. Due to their lack of emotional support, introverted personality, they will appear weak and helpless when they encounter some troubles, and over time they become reluctant to communicate with others, silence, anxiety, and nervousness make children form withdrawn, inferior, and closed psychology, and such children are naturally weaker than other children in terms of interpersonal communication and self-confidence.

Second, it is easy to lose control of emotional impulses, left-behind children are young, they have not received care and guidance at the age when they should have been educated and guided by their parents, they are in a period of physical and mental development, their emotions are not stable, and their weak will is easy to cause emotional loss of control and impulsiveness, and they are also prone to be wary and hostile to the people around them, and an important manifestation of this hostile psychology is aggressive behavior.

Third, cognitive bias, some left-behind children think that their families are poor, and their parents are not able to go out to work to make money, which leads to resentment and extreme thoughts. Some children alienate their parents after they return home, resulting in emotional alienation, and they find it difficult to establish a correct outlook on life and values, and feel lost about the future.

The separation between left-behind children and their parents makes their psychological needs unsatisfied, that is, the lack of closeness and security, and the lack of emotional support, which will lead to difficulties in establishing relationships with peers and insufficient interpersonal communication!

1. The lack of affection of parents.

2. Lack of security.

3. Lack of active communication.

It will also form: 1. Weak and introverted.

2. Rebellion. 3. Autism, etc.

You can refer to the report on the mental health of left-behind children in rural areas.

Mental health problems, mental education problems.

The lack of a sense of security is the biggest psychological hidden danger in the psychological problems left by left-behind children.

Children's attachment to their parents is determined by the characteristics of the parent-child relationship, from which the child can obtain a sense of security, which is a sign of a stable parent-child relationship and a basic condition for maintaining a healthy psychology. When the mother leaves, the child develops separation anxiety, which leads to an emotional crisis in the child and will manifest itself later in life in the form of sudden depression or anxiety that is not related to the current stress of the lifting life. Therefore, the formation of attachment bonds with parents in early childhood affects the whole of life.

Many studies on left-behind children have shown that the detection rate of psychological problems in left-behind children is significantly higher than that of non-left-behind children, which is not unrelated to the destruction of their attachment relationship and lack of security.

1. The lack of imitation objects affects the correct social cognition. Although children who have been separated from their parents for a long time can use modern means of communication such as ** and ** to communicate with their parents, although they have grandparents or other relatives living together, they have not been with their parents for a long time in the family, and their feelings about family life and parent-child interaction are often incomplete, which greatly affects the correct social cognition.

2. Lack of positive emotional interaction, leading to personality alienation. Without a close family environment created by parents and children, children are prone to loneliness, low self-esteem, indifference, and even self-abandonment, and their personality development will be distorted over time, and the health and happiness of their lives will be seriously damaged.

3. Lack of psychological support and moral norms, easy to produce deviant behavior. The reality of left-behind children being far away from their parents is that it is difficult for parents to directly understand the psychological dynamics of their children, they do not have immediate observation of their children's joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, they cannot provide psychological support in a timely manner, and it is difficult to correct their children's behavior problems. It is the lack of psychological support and moral norms given by parents to their children that has become an important factor in children's deviant behavior, as evidenced by the obvious upward trend of crime committed by left-behind children in rural areas in China in recent years.
