Abstract

The inferiority complex of rural left-behind children seriously affects their development in thought and behavior, and left-behind children have become a social group that cannot be ignored. Society, schools, and families all need to pay attention to the education of left-behind children so that they can get out of the psychological shadow of inferiority and so that their childhood is full of sunshine, happiness, and healthy growth. Therefore, it is of great significance to deeply understand the mental health status of rural, left-behind children and put forward effective educational countermeasures for improving their living conditions and promoting the harmonious development of society.
