What about the children who go out to work and stay at school? This has always been the biggest concern of migrant workers. In order to let migrant workers work outside with peace of mind, the teachers of Hebei Primary School in the attached town of Leizhou City are willing to be the "parents" of left-behind children and hold up an "umbrella" for them, which has been widely praised by all walks of life, especially the parents of children, and has also created a "Hebei Primary School Model" for rural schools to care for left-behind children.

"home video" builds a bridge of communication
"Mom, I really miss you. Is dad okay? " On March 27th, Xiao Chen, a fifth-grade student in Hebei Primary School, met his mother who worked in Foshan through the school's "home video chat room" and chatted with her for 10 minutes.
Xiao Chen told reporters that their parents went to work in Foshan after the Spring Festival. Their brothers and sisters haven't seen their parents for more than a month and miss them very much. Through this video, their mood is much better.
It is understood that in order to facilitate left-behind children to communicate with their parents who are far away from home, Hebei primary school has purchased computers, cameras and other equipment and established a "family video chat room". Since the opening up, left-behind children have been allowed to have "close" contact with their parents and enjoy family affection.
"This money is well spent. Don't underestimate these computers and cameras. These devices allow children to meet their parents who are far away from home and bring them great warmth and hope. " Zeng Xiaomei, the principal of the school, said that there are more than 200 students in the school, including 97 left-behind children, accounting for nearly half of the total number of students. In recent years, with the support of Leizhou Women's Federation and social caring people, the living and learning conditions of left-behind children have been further improved. Just because their parents are not around, they sometimes feel lost and lonely, and "family video chat room" can solve the psychological problems of left-behind children to some extent and promote their healthy growth.

"I have studied very hard, why can't my grades go up?" "I like a girl in my class very much. What should I do? " "My family condition is not good. Parents work outside the home all the year round and are always worried that others will look down on them. What should I do? " ..... As soon as the campus psychological counseling room opened, several students came to the door and took turns to talk to the psychological teacher. Since the opening of the school's psychological counseling room, it has become a frequent place for many students.

Zeng Xiaomei told reporters that there are many left-behind children now, and their physical and mental changes during adolescence are great, but some parents unilaterally pursue educational achievements and ignore mental health education. In order to help students overcome all kinds of mental health and behavior problems encountered in the process of growing up and promote the healthy development of students' body and mind, the school established a psychological counseling room three years ago to create a "post office agent" for students to help them open their hearts, get rid of bad emotions and get help for growth.
It is understood that the school's psychological counseling room is open to students regularly every day, with qualified principal Zeng Xiaomei and vice president Chen Qifa as psychological counseling teachers, who are responsible for accepting students' counseling. Visiting students and their parents ask a wide range of questions, including weariness, exam anxiety, interpersonal communication, emotional problems and so on. They provide psychological counseling for students through face-to-face communication and opening service telephones. At the same time, in view of students' sexual problems, group psychological counseling activities such as "building a bridge of communication and writing gratitude words" are held to correctly guide students to understand psychological knowledge. Up to now, the school's psychological counseling room has received more than 200 students and parents face to face.
In addition, the school also guides teachers to master the skills of counseling students' psychology, and carries out educational counseling in combination with relevant contents in education and teaching. If students with abnormal emotions are found, they will also be brought to the psychological counseling room for psychological counseling.
Boutique activities help healthy and happy growth
A few days ago, when the reporter went to the school with the leaders of the Leizhou Municipal Commission for Work, he learned that since 20 13, with the support of the Leizhou Women's Federation and other departments, the school has raised funds from various sources and has successively equipped the left-behind children with characteristic educational activity rooms, fitness and recreation rooms, reading rooms and ventricles.
In order to give every left-behind child a broader space to grow up, the school set up a working group to care for left-behind children, with the principal as the leader and middle-level cadres, class teachers and classroom teachers as members, and purchased equipment such as organ, flute, accordion, pedal piano, electronic piano and karaoke system to provide free places, free equipment and free class hours for left-behind children, and make full use of extracurricular activities, Saturday and winter and summer vacations. A variety of cultural and sports activities, such as "characteristic big recess", "sunny Saturday" and "little migratory bird reading festival", have effectively enhanced the sense of acquisition of left-behind children and cultivated their excellent qualities of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and self-reliance.
Speaking of the school's care for left-behind children, the old man, secretary of the Party branch of hebei village, is full of praise. He said that the village is vast and sparsely populated, and many villagers choose to go out to work to make a living. As a result, a large number of left-behind children appeared in the village. Usually, they live with their elderly grandparents. Left-behind children are generally unwilling to study and lack manners. Since the school was established to stay in Children's Home, teachers have been arranged to stay in the school for 24 hours to help the left-behind children, and colorful activities have been carried out regularly to make the campus a "park, paradise and home of the school". "Especially on Saturday, the teachers went back to school with the left-behind children to carry out activities, warmed the loveless children with their feelings, and let the left-behind children grow up healthily and happily. Now the children in the village are much more sensible, their academic performance has improved, and doing good deeds has become a common practice in our village. "
The caring model of Hebei primary schools has also attracted the attention of all walks of life. Some volunteer teams also went to the school to carry out teaching activities to send care and warmth to left-behind children. Zeng Xiaomei believes that the education of left-behind children is a social problem brought about by the transfer of rural labor force and will be a long-standing problem in a certain period of time. "We will give more care and support in our future work, so that left-behind children can deeply understand the love of leaving their parents and staying at home, so that every left-behind child can grow up healthily and happily, and let them enjoy a blue sky with other children."
