The article presents an analysis parent-child relationship in families of labour migrants and their recovery after the return of parents with earnings. Analysis of approaches to the implementation of psychological assistance to the families of labour migrants enables to conclude that the scientists of today are focusing their attention on psychological assistance to children from migrant families, manuals, scientific and methodical recommendations on the socio-pedagogical and psychological work with children of labour migrants. However, special psychological and rehabilitation assistance to the family needs of labour migrants after returning parents with earnings, which was the prerequisite for the creation of our remedial and developmental program for the provision of psychological assistance to children of migrant workers and their parents after returning from earnings.
 
After a long separation relationship between children and parents become cooler, making more difficult the reintegration of the migrant in the family after returning home. That is why we have developed remedial and developmental program provided an opportunity for parents and children to relive the milestones of their life in a more conducive, comfortable and safe psychological environment for the expansion of their worldview and, as a consequence, the assimilation of new ways of behavior.
 
Emotional relationships between parents and children as a result of psycho-correction work has undergone significant changes: the parents in case of bodily contact through exercises renewed sense of parental attachment to their children. Group work contributed to the formation of skills of interaction, cooperation and emotional support for children and parents, the restoration of the interaction skills of parents with children after returning from earnings, contributed to the restoration of emotional convergence of the child with his mother or father. In addition, after a long absence, parents had the opportunity to deepen the knowledge about themselves, their psychological characteristics, age characteristics of their own child.
 
Creating optimal conditions for working in a group helped parents see the importance and characteristics of their relationships with children, shaping their motivation to change, finding and testing new ways of behavior with a child on the basis of its full adoption.
