Study on Behavior Problems and Influencing Factors of School-age Children

Through investigating parents and teachers of children from Linyi Primary School by Rutter Children Behavior Questionnaire, following phenomena are found: behavior problems of boys are more than those of girls; behavior problems of children from migrant worker families are more serious; children with poor academic performances are more likely to have behavior problems; children come from poor families and children who have parents with low cultural degrees have more behavior problems. Then suggestions are provided accordingly. First, society, school and family should pay more attention to the lives and mental health of children from migrant worker families. Second, academic achievement should not become the only criterion to judge children, in order to avoid children's psychological problems brought by poor academic performances. Third, the educational level of parents affects their educational methods, which will also affect children's growth. Therefore, parents should constantly improve their educational levels and learn some childcare knowledge.
