The report found more than half of the children left behind don’t live with either parent. The telephone is often the only way they can contact their mother or father. The report indicates that 8.7 percent left-behind children have no contact with their parents at all. The survey also found 49.7 percent of left-behind children prefer to live with their parents, and 44.1 percent of left-behind children do not want to live with their parents. 24.2 percent of left-behind children do not speak much with their caregiver. Since most of these children are at a critical stage of development, experts fear that they may develop psychological problems stemming from their parents’ absences. Sun Yunxiao, a youth expert with the China Youth Research Centre said: “The younger the child is, the more family care the child requires. Intimate family care is indispensable to every childs growth. The biggest risk for left-behind children is that they lack family intimacy. They need good care and instructions in their everyday lives, including emotional support, study help and recreational time.” Many provinces in China have now set up special schools to care for these children. Some provinces have also established charity funds for their future development. But experts add that with the numbers of left-behind children rising rapidly, more efforts will be needed by schools, society and rural families to care for children in Chinas rural areas. ?1.
