Investigation report on psychological problems of left-behind children in rural areas

In the era of continuous progress, reports are closely related to our lives. According to different uses, there are different types of reports. Do you know how to write a report? The following is a survey report on the psychological problems of left-behind children in rural areas, which I carefully compiled, hoping to help everyone.

Abstract: Due to geographical and historical reasons, the economic development in various regions of China is unbalanced, and the contradiction between man and land in rural areas is acute. Driven by the rapid development of market economy, a large number of rural surplus laborers go out to work in order to change their living conditions. Most of them are husband and wife, and they can't take care of their children due to economic and other reasons, resulting in the problem of "left-behind children". This paper makes a psychological survey of left-behind children in Shengli village, understands their present situation, analyzes the reasons and puts forward countermeasures.

Keywords: psychological problems of left-behind children in rural areas

Large-scale population movement has formed a special group: left-behind children. After parents go out to work, children stay at home (mainly in rural areas). They are called left-behind children. Shengli Village is a traditional agricultural village in Mianhu Township, Zhuhui District, Hengyang City. Population 1927, married population of 56, permanent population of 1437,174 left-behind children under the age of 0.4, accounting for 3.84% of the village population, and 52 people live with their grandmothers and grandfathers. In the survey, it is found that 65% of parents go home less than twice a year, and some even go home 1 time for several years; Nearly 30% left-behind children talk to their parents less than 1 time per month. Due to the long-term absence of parents, the emotional needs of left-behind children can not be met, and their psychological problems can not be properly channeled, which greatly affects their physical and mental health, forming a hidden danger of personality distortion, leading to some children's bad behavior habits, which is easy to produce psychological imbalance, moral anomie, behavior out of control and even criminal tendencies. After parents go out to work, they spend less time with left-behind children and communicate less, which is far from meeting their role requirements as guardians. However, in the absolute proportion of intergenerational education, there are also many unsatisfactory places. This situation easily leads to the deviation of left-behind children's "longing for family", mental health and personality, and the situation is more prominent.

A psychological problem of left-behind children

(A), relatively introverted personality

In the survey, we found that many children are introverted. They say that they usually stay at home after school, rarely go out and don't like to deal with people. Their main activity is watching TV at home, mainly about 65,438+00 children, who prefer to go to Internet cafes to kill time. There are grandparents who feel that they have nothing to say or don't want to talk to them at all. These children are usually quiet in group activities. According to the survey, they envy those children who can sing, dance and tell jokes. They are just an audience in the crowd. This long life has formed their sense of loneliness. These children were separated from their parents for a long time when they were young. The unstable family environment makes them lack sense of security and belonging, which brings them a strong sense of loneliness. Because of their lack of emotional dependence and introverted personality, they will appear weak and helpless when they encounter some troubles, and over time they will become unwilling to communicate with others. Long-term reticence, reticence, anxiety and nervousness can easily make these children form withdrawn, inferior and closed psychology. Such children are naturally weaker than other children in interpersonal communication and self-confidence.

(B) mental depression, it is difficult to find happiness

Most of these children are under 14 years old, and their physical and mental development is rapid, but they have not yet formed stable psychological characteristics. Especially after entering adolescence, some children's psychological problems are more prominent, such as learning difficulties, confusion in making friends, and confusion in adolescence, which makes them unable to find a window for psychological venting. This makes these people unhappy, and the inner pain and depression make these children have no self-confidence, dare not express boldly and lack vitality.

Bad temper, easy to get out of control

In the survey, we asked several left-behind children, "Have you ever quarreled with teachers at school and at home?" In the answer, almost all the children said that they had quarreled, and some even quarreled with adults and teachers. Even two children changed to three schools because they often quarreled with their classmates at school. The two children said they were tired of their present life, didn't want to study, and wanted to go out to work early.

Cognitive prejudice:

A few left-behind children think that their families are poor and their parents are incompetent, so they go out to work to earn money, which leads to resentment and extreme thoughts. Some children alienate their parents after returning home, which leads to emotional alienation. It is difficult for them to establish a correct outlook on life and values, and they are at a loss about the future. Most children are not enterprising, and their discipline is lax. Coupled with the lack of family education, their academic performance is generally poor. They gradually play truant and drop out of school, so that they flow to society prematurely. Some migrant workers are eager to get rich, and they usually don't pay enough attention to their children's ethical and moral education and legal education. In particular, some parents feel guilty because they can't take care of their children for a long time, so they adopt the way of "material+laissez-faire" to compensate, which is easy to form children's utilitarian values and hedonistic outlook on life, and develop bad habits of leisure and extravagance. According to the survey, there are 16 children between 13 and 16, and 6 of them are not studying. The psychological feelings of these children have a kind of abandonment injury. Lack of communication between parents.

(e) Family problems lead to mental breakdown.

Many parents who work outside the home do not work in the same place, and the relationship between husband and wife gradually becomes cold, which eventually leads to divorce. Some left-behind children, mainly girls, are psychologically fragile and easy to be world-weary. There is a classmate in my school class. His parents divorced and cried almost every day during that time. Later, he ran away from home and did not return to school and family for many days. In our investigation, we found that when answering the question "Do you think your parents have a good relationship?", 70% of the children said they didn't know and 20% said they were not good. .

Second, the causes of psychological problems

(A) lack of affection

Because they are away from their parents all the year round, the disadvantages of intergenerational education make these people feel the indifference of their families, and adults hope to make up for it with materials, which cannot replace the family. 12-year-old Yang Peng, a child who stayed at home for seven years. When Yang Peng was just sensible, his parents divorced and went to work in Guangdong and Beijing respectively. Jason Chung hasn't seen his mother for seven years, and his father hasn't come back for the Spring Festival since he remarried last year. Dad gave him a passbook and asked him to withdraw money to meet the expenses of study and life. Living with grandpa, uncle and aunt, whenever he thinks of his parents, he shuts himself in the house and feels lonely and empty. Therefore, Yang Peng doesn't want to go to school or do his homework after class, so he is very withdrawn and introverted. He confided in his diary: "mom and dad went their separate ways, and they no longer care about me." I almost became an orphan.

(B) Study pressure

Now we call for quality education every day, but in today's quality education, we are still taking the old road of exam-oriented education, and school teaching and education are still linked to academic performance. This is particularly prominent in the rise of junior high school. Teachers' expectations and parents' expectations make children feel hard and tired on the road of learning. Although some schools have implemented the scoring system, the scores still have a great impact on the physical and mental health of these children, especially the left-behind children. They can't get normal psychological counseling from teachers and parents, and they are prone to give up on themselves, study carelessly and be pessimistic about the future.

Puzzlement in adolescence

After children enter adolescence, adolescent students gradually alienate from their families, associate with peers, engage in activities, and make friends with like-minded students. They talk about everything, are inseparable, regard friendship as supreme, and even do anything for their friends. At the same time, adolescence is the embryonic stage of sexual psychology, which shows that people begin to pay more attention to their own image, especially the evaluation of the opposite sex students, and try to communicate with the opposite sex. However, in the process of communication, their psychology becomes very complicated. On the one hand, they are eager to get close to each other, on the other hand, they are afraid of being discovered by others. In this way, the communication process is mysterious and shy, but it is embarrassing. Generally speaking, they don't really love each other, but they have the same language and like to communicate and appreciate each other. However, due to different performances, it becomes the talk of students. Once it is exaggerated by students, it becomes colored news, which makes the parties very embarrassed. In this way, the communication of a classmate of the opposite sex has caused a serious psychological burden, which directly affects the study and life. This is the psychological fluctuation of the troubled left-behind children in adolescence. It is normal to have psychological problems. However, psychological problems can not be guided and helped in time, and over time, the problems become more prominent.

(D) The normal personality development disorder caused by insecurity.

Left-behind children are generally in a weak position, and they have formed a natural sense of self-protection. When this kind of consciousness is extremely strengthened, they will form psychological barriers such as loneliness, anxiety and selfishness, and then they are unwilling to associate with others, distrust others, have no confidence in themselves and have no sense of publicity. If they lack proper and timely guidance, they may have various psychological problems.

(5) Reduce the psychological resistance brought by the complex social environment.

Left-behind children are in a critical period of personality formation. However, the current social environment is complex and good and bad coexist, which requires the care and guidance of parents and society in particular. But their parents are far away from home, and care and guidance are absent; At the same time, Internet cafes, game halls and dance halls around primary and secondary schools are simply a Pandora's box for left-behind children who lack parental discipline. Internal negligence and many external temptations can easily lead to psychological anomie and deviant behavior of left-behind children over time.

Third, countermeasures

(1) Building a three-dimensional education network that cares for left-behind children.

1, improve family education

As parents of children, if they go out to work, they must properly arrange the lives of left-behind children; Try to take time out and go home often; No matter how busy you are, you should always call your child and write home letters to keep abreast of the changes in your child's study, life and psychology to avoid problems such as growth crisis and moral anomie. For parents of children, if they can't take care of their children at home, they should choose qualified guardians and pay attention to their growth. Parents should also strengthen communication with their children's class teachers in time to keep abreast of their children's psychological growth. For parents, it is necessary to change their ideas and realize that it is more important to give their children a sound personality than to provide them with ample food and clothing and rich living conditions.

2. Strengthen school education.

The school where left-behind children are located should set up a mental health consultation room, hire full-time professional psychological teachers, offer mental health classes, and hold regular lectures on mental health education for students. Help left-behind children solve the problem of no one to talk to and no place to talk to through psychological counseling, whispering mailbox and other forms, so that they can untie their hearts. The head teacher should be more caring, responsible and enterprising, and pay attention to this special group. The first is to establish a file of "left-behind children", so as to understand the child's personality characteristics, birthday, parents' contact address and telephone number, preferences and his friends and guardians. At the same time, we should also strengthen communication and exchanges with these children, especially the left-behind children living on campus, and hope that the class teacher will love these "special students" as much as his own children.

3. Social education is indispensable.

As a government, it should be the task of grass-roots governments to pay attention to the growth of this special group. Advocate caring for life and caring for left-behind children. Provide necessary support to these left-behind children. For example, psychological assistance, spring outing, parent-child activities and other meaningful special activities. Jointly carried out by the school and the government * * * Youth League Committee and Youth Working Committee. The second is to strengthen support for education, especially for the work of class teachers. First of all, we should improve the treatment of class teachers and increase the training of class teachers in the education of left-behind children. Third, the government can also strengthen the governance of the real educational environment. Maintain the normal teaching order of the school, strengthen the investigation and punishment of black internet cafes, and strengthen the management of incidents that endanger the safety of school students. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of unhealthy teenagers around the school so as not to bring psychological panic to these psychologically fragile left-behind children.

(2) Caring for children and innovating caring education mechanism.

For left-behind children, we can set up "left-behind children's schools" or "left-behind children's classes" to create a good educational environment for these children and equip them with high-quality teachers, which is of great benefit to their growth. Carry out the activity of "parents are around", open a special train, and arrange these left-behind children to meet and live with their parents for one or several days on specific holidays to facilitate their travel and communication. At the same time, we can also improve the caring service network in communities and rural areas, with the main cadres of neighborhood committees or village committees taking the lead, enthusiastically paying attention to and helping these left-behind children and giving them a care.

The psychological problems of left-behind children not only affect their mental health, but also easily lead to their illegal and criminal behavior, which affects social security and stability. According to the investigation of the Ministry of Public Security, the two "overwhelming" cases of minors being violated and committing crimes by themselves mostly occurred in rural areas, and most of them were left-behind children. The survey also shows that 80% of left-behind children in rural areas have mild or severe psychological disorders. A recent survey released by China Institute of Social Studies in Beijing also showed that more than half of parents obviously felt that their children had become silent and withdrawn after staying behind. 30% parents know that their children have made bad friends and often make trouble. According to a survey conducted by Hubei Huazhong Normal University, 90% of teachers believe that there are serious problems in the study and life of left-behind children in rural areas. Parents are not around, it is difficult to find the innocence and liveliness that children of this age should have from their lack of caring eyes. They are generally precocious, but they are always eager for irreplaceable caress from their parents. At the same time, these left-behind children are laborers in the future society and the backbone of building socialism. How to educate and cultivate these left-behind children should be the responsibility of the whole society. Give them a ray of sunshine and let these children thrive.
