As the large-scale surplus-labour in rural area flow into cities in recent years, there appears a special weeken group, the left-behind children. This leds to a more and more serious problem for how to educate those children. This paper uses Xinli village Gaofeng Town Xinye County Guangxi as the basic background to research the affection of emotion on children when both of their parents have left their hometown to work. Meanwhile the author alse give some suggestions on how to improve the situation of left- behind children from the angle of family, school and society, which have both the theoretical value and realistic significance.The thesis consists of three parts.The first chapter is the introduction, which gives a summary to the reseaching background, research significance and the current situation of the issue. Meanwhile, it gives some definitions to the conceptions related to this thesis and form a basic structure and complete thoughts to the thesis.When study the problem of education to left-behind children in rural areas, on the one hand it may be helpful to promote the whole society to care about the left-behind children, promote their development, cultuvate more talents for our country, on the other hand, it may be helpful to coordinate the development between cities and rural areas, to ensure a peaceful society, to promote the development of nine year compulsory education in balance, to consolidate the achievements of current compulsory education, continuously improve the quality of compulsory education to fit the demand of reality.Based on all the documents available, we can see that the researchers in our country have done a lot of work on investigating and studying the background, causes and current situation of left-behind children. More of them focus on a series of affection on left-behind children, such as education, study, conduct, and so on. They have already given a lot of suggestions on the studying. These achievement will be helpful for the society to understand the problm of left-behind children clearly and deeply. They also present some effective measures to solve the problems, which may be helpful for our reseach because they have offered us valuable experience. However, more of their reseach concentrates on the causes, education and studying condition of left-behind students, the reseach on emotion situations is limited. Meanwhile, the sphere of reseach in the past is too large, too concentrated, not concrete enough. The conclusion is always the result of prediction, not proved by practice.My reseach uses the methods which combine the research of quality with the research of quantity to study the emotion situation of left-behind children and display their features of emotion and wishes on the purpose to search for a good way to solve the problem, so that we can promote both psychical and physical development of left-behind children.The second part consists of the conclusion of reseach and its analyzing. The left-behind children feel that the atmosphere in their family is too cold, they can't be taken care as well as before. There lies a gap between their parents and them so they may feel they are not safe enough.The supervisor don't have enough time to communicate with left-behind children or though sometimes they may communicate but it is limited. Their care focus more on materials but not emotion. Telephone is the main means for parents and their children to communicate. The shortcoming of the way is that they can't communicate too much and the time to communicate also is limited. The communication always limited between the parents who have left their hometown and their children. Due to the limited time, parents focus more on the performance on studying and the security of their children, or if their children obey their teachers or their supervisors. And the children focus more on their parents'health situation. They always report their performance of studying to their parents. Because their talks always are not connected with the communication of emotion, so the communication can't be regarded as effective way to satisfy the desire of children's family feeling.Left-behind children have a strong desire on family feeling, they desire to be loved by their parents. However their desire can't be satisfied. They lack care and company from their parents. They commonly feel lonely and low due to the lack of comminication of emotion. Lots of children have heavy burden of psyche even they are very young. They worry about not only their family life but also their parents'health situation and security.Based on reality, the third chapter gives some suggestions on how to improve left-behind children's emotion situations from the aspect of family, school and the society. If we want to solve the emotional problem of left-behind children, the cooperation and the efforts among society, school and family are necessary.Firstly, we should prevent the making of left-behind children from origin. We can take the measures such as to reform of the system of houshold register, remove the barrier between cities and rural areas, treat flowing peasants as commomn citizens and protect their legal rights. Or the schools in cities should adopt the policy which look on the children in rural areas as those in cities. So that both the children in rural areas and in cities can enjoy high-quality education and eventually solve the problem of left-behind children in rural areas.Secondly, we should change both the ideas of outgoing parents and the supervisors as well as their communicative methods, pay attention to the emotional demand of children and improve the family surrounding of them. Perhaps, there is another way that the parents can work nearer or set up their own business in their hometown.Thirdly, we should utilize the advantage of school, give judicious guidance according to circumstances, make pointed reference to do the educational management. We may make up their demands of family feeling by colourful out door activeties and the friendship between students. School should open some courses related to left-behind children, intensify the psychological education, construct the system of acting parents, open some gardens of parent-offspring, and so on.Finally, the left-behind children themseleves should master the skill on how to adjust their emotion, and release their stress in time.
