Care is the love that we convey to people or things related to people in our environment.It is not only a responsibility that people need to bear,but also the expectation that others can get a better life.It is also the presentation of people's moral feelings,moral personality and caring ability.lt is a kind of relational care.Relations are the attributes of human beings,and life is the combination of various factors.Therefore,human survival and developlent need to be cared for.Being cared for and giving and caring are all human needs,so the subjects in the caring relationship are all beneficiaries.Neil Nottings,an American philosopher and educator,has made a thorough reflection and summary on the phenomenon of school education in his social environment,the educational thoughts he follows and the cognitive state of care.On the basis of drawing lessons from and criticizing the theoretical achievements of his predecessors,he has made a thorough study and analysis of care ethics from the Perspective of feminist ethics and relationship.It enriches the systematicness and effectiveness of Western feminist caring ethics and promotes the diversification of caring ethics.Notting's care ethics emphasizes the cultivation of human moral quality and concerns the relationship and emotional experience of people's interactions.It is an ethical theory based on objective facts and respecting people's subjective initiative.Nottings deeply pondered and analyzed school moral education,put forward theoretical basis and methods with strong practical significance for the effective implementation of school moral education,and expounded the necessity of implementing care education in schools.In view of this,it shows that caring ethics is of great significance and value in promoting the physical and mental development of Left-behind children.Left-behind children are the product of the development of the times.There are a large number of left-behind children in our country.They are facing difficulties in their growth,such as insufficient social care,lack of family care,insufficient attention from schools,and poor parental companionship,which have a negative impact on their lives.Primary school is a critical period for the physical and psychological development of left-behind children in rural areas.Due to the lack of parental care,they need to face more heavy pressure and burden than other non-left-behind children.Care ethics attaches importance to the coexistence of rationality and emotion.It has positive reference significance in the process of moral education to awaken and enhance the emotional cognition of left-behind children and to establish and consolidate the caring relationship between left-behind children and others.Based on Nottings,caring theory,this paper analyses the daily life of left-behind children in R village elementary school,and finds that left-behind children are faced with the problems of absence of caring subject,lack of continuity of caring and improper caring methods in the process of acquiring caring ability.These factors hinder the development of their caring ability and have adverse consequences.Specifically,left-behind children lack personal moral feelings and are indifferent to other people's moral behavior,which makes it difficult to stimulate positive emotional experience;the relationship between teachers and students is strange,fear of the dignity of teachers,lack of trust in teachers;the relationship between parents and children is loose,and lack of concern and understanding for relatives.Nottings'caring ethics is a relational ethic that emphasizes both rationality and emotion,respects children's interests and hobbies,emphasizes the equal relationship between people,respects people's subjective initiative,cares about students' inner experience and feelings,pays attention to the practicality and situational nature of care,and emphasizes the role of free dialogue in people's inner exploration.Drawing on the essence of nodding care ethics,combining the various practical problems faced by the left behind children in the school,we build a good family relationship,establish an equal and mutually beneficial teacher-student relationship,and effectively strengthen the caring moral education for left behind children,so as to enhance the positive moral emotion of left behind children,cultivate children's caring ability,and improve the living difficulties of left behind children.
