The activity aims to build a bridge of communication, let more caring people know about them and pay attention to them, and at the same time give their love to help those poor children and children left behind in mountainous areas and help more people.
The problem of left-behind children is a prominent social problem. With the rapid development of China's society, politics and economy, more and more young and middle-aged farmers have entered cities, and a special group of minors-left-behind children in rural areas have emerged. Left-behind children are in a critical period of growth and development. They can't enjoy the guidance and help of their parents in their ideological understanding and values. When they grow up, they lack the emotional care and care of their parents. Relatively speaking, they tend to go to the two extremes of development. Some children have deviations in understanding and values, and their personality and psychological development are abnormal. Some children become extremely strong and brave. The so-called poor children are like this.
An authoritative survey shows that the number of "left-behind children" in rural areas of China exceeds 6 1 10,000 (equivalent to the total population of Britain). 57.2% of left-behind children go out with one parent and 42.8% with both parents. Among the left-behind children, 79.7% were raised by grandparents, 13% were entrusted to relatives and friends, and 7.3% were uncertain or unsupervised.
Left-behind children have a shadow of mental health because of the lack of affection. A large part of them are characterized by closed hearts, apathy, inferiority, cowardice, withdrawn behavior, introversion, lack of love and communication initiative, some of them are grumpy and impulsive, and often escalate unprovoked trivial matters into fights. Actively respond to and implement the principles and policies of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on the theme of "Building a New Countryside" and "My Chinese Dream", take the Opinions of the Ministry of Education and other five departments on Strengthening the Care and Education of Left-behind Children in Rural Areas in Compulsory Education and the Overall Development Plan for the Action of Teaching Assistants in New Countryside as the action guide, cooperate with the work of relevant government functional departments such as education, agriculture, rural areas and public welfare, narrow the gap between urban and rural education levels, and actively advocate education fairness and care.
