Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by "left-behind" children of overseas Chinese in family education through field research in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province. Issues identified include limited parent-child communication, inadequate academic support, and poor home-school coordination. To overcome these obstacles, we propose leveraging digital technologies, including AI, IoT, VR, online education, and big data to create a digital pathway that promotes family education, aiming to improve the quality and effectiveness of family education for these children and promote their overall healthy development.
