The current follow-up study aims to identify the economic, educational, health and social problems facing the Syrian children in the Jordanian host communities. The study adopted the descriptive method, as a questionnaire was designed to collect data from a sample of (425) refugee children selected by the facilitated method, and the statistical packages and SPSS program were used to analyze data. The study results showed an increase in the forms of problems facing the refugee children in Jordan, as the most prominent economic problems facing the refugee Syrian children in Jordan were low pay, accumulation of debts owed by family, inability to repay debts, poverty, high costs of living and labor exploitation. The educational problems were the inability of the family to pay education expenses, the priority of work over education and the pressure on living conditions that created an unwillingness to continue education. The health problems represented in the high expenses of treatment, long distance and lack of documents. The social problems were the inability to maintain relationships with friends and relatives due to spending most of their time in work and increasing disputes within the family. In light of the results, the study presented a set of recommendations to reduce the forms of suffering facing Syrian refugee children in Jordan
