Emotional Education
In the past few years, with the development of China‘s economy, more and more young people who once lived in rural areas农村 rush into cities to earn money to support their families. Therefore the emergence of the problem of left behind children actually reflects that millions of left behind children not only face life problems, but also face psychological problems心理问题, the latter can be regarded as the majority of left behind children living with their grandparents. Some of their grandparents dote on them and some don't care much about them. They feel lonely.
Left behind children are more likely to develop the habit of silence or solitude独处. As a result, most of them do not do well in school, which makes them feel inferior自卑. Although I can‘t list all aspects of this problem, I believe it is a quite serious problem The key to solve the problem of left behind children is not only the joint efforts共同努力 of parents, but also that our society and government should take effective measures有效措施 to deal with it.
Let's wait and see.
Appreciate what you have: the people, the opportunities, the material possessions.
珍视你所拥有的一切:人、机遇、物质财富。
Realize that life isn't always fair. Accept what you must, and change what you can.
要知道生活并非绝对公平。接受既定命运，改变你所能改变的。
No communication or improper communication, sometimes can bring a lot of regret.
不沟通或是不正确沟通，有时会带来很多的遗憾。
What can we do for the left-behind children
Make posters to arouse people’s attention.
Give speeches to make more people care about them.
Set up clubs to organize activities to help them.

…
What possible questions might his parents ask Li Wen
Are you happy every day
Do you have any friends in school
Why have your grades dropped recently
Why do you want to leave the school
…
Li Wen: Do you love me
Mother: Of, course we do.
Li Wen: Why don’t you come home to see me more often
Father: Sorry, we are really busy with our jobs every day. Life
is not easy and there are more chances in big cities.
Mother: But we do miss you every day. Every time we think of
you, we will work harder…
Sample
Mother: …We want to get you a better education and then, of
course, a good future.
Father: In our eyes, you are a hardworking and kind child. And
we are always proud of you.
Mother: But what happened to you, dear It seems that you
have a bad performance at school. Why have your
grades dropped recently Is there anything unhappy
that influences you
Li Wen: Um … I think it is because I always feel lonely. I miss
you so much.
Father: That is our fault. What should we do in your opinion
Li Wen: I think what we need isn’t too much money or other
material wealth. We need more communication and
love from each other.
Father: We agree with you, Li Wen. It’s very important for
parents to be there for their children.
Li Wen: That’s what I want to say.
Mother: We will spare more time to accompany you in the
future. Nothing is more important than our
son’s happiness and well-being.
Father: We’ve heard that you want to leave the school. Why
Li Wen: I don’t have any friends and there are many strict rules
in school.
Mother: I see. I understand that you think life is hard …
Mother: … in school, but why not try making friends with
others Be outgoing.
Father: I think you can be brave and try to be more active. How
about playing basketball with other boys I know you
are good at playing basketball.
Li Wen: Ok. I’ll have a try.
Mother: We are always proud of you, son.
Li Wen: Definitely, we should have more and better
communication than before. But please don’t worry too
much about me. I will study harder. I believe things will
be better soon.
Father: We both hope that you’ll become more and more
cheerful and positive. Remember we take pride in
everything good that you do. We love you son.
Li Wen: I love you, too. Thank you, Dad and Mom.
