Family is a social system whose impairment in its members can disrupt it whole. A proper understanding of the problems of labor Children’s family not only helps the children and their families, but also the community as well.

This paper was conducted through qualitative and phenomenological method, and purposive sampling. After deep interviewing with 15 children, the interviews were recorded and analyzed by Strabernet and Carpenter method. Findings from the experiences of labor Children’s of loneliness were identified in four main themes including: perceived feelings, types of loneliness, the consequences of loneliness, and ways to overcome loneliness. Labor children are exposed to a variety of loneliness and especially existential loneliness, and in their lives feel meaningless, frustrated, and abandoned by adopting that can be solved by policies such as improving social interaction, providing education, teaching social skills, and spirituality.
