The rural adolescents drop out issue has been the focus of academic attention for a long time. Many scholars, with different angles, made a lot of research and analysis on the status, the reasons and the countermeasure of rural adolescents drop out of school. But few of them focus on how a family deal with the problem. Since rural adolescents’ dropout is closely related with their families. Once the dropout behavior was happened, the family bears the primary responsibility to solve the dropout problem. When the rural families deal with children dropping out of school problems, many of them could not play a normal family function, and solve the problem effectively. Therefore, family coping styles is particularly necessary to be researched in order to provide support for them. The T Village in Jinxiu County, as an example, by the way of field work, literature research, and other methods, based on the theory of family functioning, is presented here. This research primarily focused on family members’value, roles, function, communication, involvement and control during the process of family response to the drop-out problem. The study found that:the main problems of rural households in the drop-out response are too intuitive determine, communication lack of flexibility, involved in the control out of balance, one or both parents over-involvement, and inter-generational values conflict. All these problems in the family coping style performance makes the problem of young people dropping out of school could hardly be resolved effectively. To intervene the problem. social workers need to use some professional approaches such as clarification, replay, emotions connection, boundary setting and mission assigment.
