Abstract Family is the basic unit of children’s development and socialization. Exploring the influence of family on the learning adaptability of left-behind children is of great value to identify effective education decision. Based on survey of left-behind children in 15 districts and counties of Hubei Province and Guangdong Province, this study finds that the family interaction and homework supervision have a significant positive impact on left-behind children’s learning adaptability when controlling other factors. Compared to structural variables such as household economic income, the homework supervision has a much greater positive effect on the learning adaptability of left-behind children. Therefore, the human capital investment of left-behind children should take both short-term and long-term goals into account. In the meantime, rational family education decisions should reasonably weigh the relationship between income-generating and the supervision of children’s learning processes. Pursuing money but ignoring children’s learning supervision will have a negative impact on the learning adaptability of left-behind children, which will hinder the development of left-behind children.
