大多數時候,留守兒童(leftover children)的問題很大程度上源于缺乏父母的情感關懷。通常,孩子由祖父母或父母的朋友、親戚照顧。在大多數情況下,他們的監護人(guardian)沒有受過很好的教育。對他們來說,確保孩子健康、吃得好是極重要的任務。只要孩子平安無事,他們就被認為做得很好了。監護人很少關心孩子的學習、心理需求或精神需求。他們也不花時間教孩子如何養成良好的習慣。
參考譯文:
Most of the time, problems of the leftover children largely arise from a lack of emotional care from their parents. Usually, the children's grandparents or their parent's friends or relatives look after these children. In most cases, their guardians are not well educated. To them,making sure that the children are healthy and fed well is the most important task. As long as the children are safe and sound,they are considered to have done a good job. Guardians seldom care about children's study,psychological needs, or mental demands. Neither do they spend some time to teach kids how to develop good habits.
