The Impact of Family Education on Left-behind Children

Nowadays, left-behind children face numerous challenges. Scholars generally point out that the absence of family education is one of the core issues confronting these children. Although existing studies have explored the educational difficulties of left-behind children from various perspectives, most remain at a macro level and lack in-depth analysis of family education on a relatively micro scale. Research has shown that the lack of family education leads to poor academic performance, limited social interactions, and inadequate life skills among left-behind children, highlighting the crucial role family education plays in their development. In light of this, this study proposes strategies and recommendations to improve family education and promote the healthy growth of left-behind children. Moreover, this research addresses the shortcomings of existing literature by conducting in-depth investigations and interviews at the micro level, offering new perspectives and practical approaches to solving the problems faced by left-behind children. Looking ahead, scholars can adopt long-term tracking studies, cross-regional comparisons, and interdisciplinary analyses to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the left-behind children group. This will help build a holistic support system and contribute to coordinated urban-rural development and social equity and justice.
