How to carry out mental health education in kindergartens

Kindergarten education should not only make children grow up healthily, but also ensure their mental health. Mental health has two meanings: one is that people's mental state is good, which is an attribute of people's psychology, and the other is the standard of people's psychological integrity. Children's mental health education refers to the educational activities to promote children's normal psychological development, give full play to their existing psychological ability, and cultivate their understanding, adjustment and development of their own mental health. It is the key to educate children's mental health and clarify the standards of children's mental health. At present, the accepted criteria are: (1) emotional health and moderate emotional response; (2) Normal self-awareness; (3) Willing to associate with others and harmonious interpersonal relationship; (4) Good will quality; (5) behavior coordination, consistent with age; This is an important basis for children's mental health education. (1) Emotional education content 1, basic emotional discrimination ability, emotional expression ability. 3. Reasonable ways to relieve bad emotions. 4. Cultivation of positive emotions. (2) the educational content of self-awareness 1, self-awareness. 2, self-evaluation ability. 3. Self-emotion and self-control ability. (3) The educational content of will quality is 1, self-control and persistence. 2. Brave spirit (4) Action and behavior education content Action and behavior are coordinated and can do things according to routine life. When formulating the corresponding educational content, we should integrate the educational content into educational activities and teach them to young children. Here, mental health education plays an important role. Kindergarten education activities are mainly carried out through children's love for children's songs and games, and mental health education can't get rid of this form. Children's songs are a common form of education when reasoning with children. For example, a child is timid, in order to make the child bold. Not afraid of setbacks, with good will quality, we can educate them in the form of children, and say a children's song "Little Grasshopper High Jump" that children can easily understand and remember, so that children can write it down. When the child shows cowardice again, we can use this nursery rhyme to remind him, encourage him to learn the quality of being brave and not afraid of setbacks, and let the child gradually become strong and brave. Games, as a form of education, are more easily accepted by children when cultivating their emotions, willpower and social communication. If children are withdrawn and not good at making friends, it is the best way to improve their communicative competence by playing games. The games that children like to play are inseparable from communication with others. For example, in addition to playing the role of children with small fish, the rest of the children form a circle hand in hand and make a fish net. If children don't cooperate and communicate, they won't easily miss small fish from the net. In order to make children's mental health education achieve better results and promote children's mental health development, there are the following suggestions: First, establish a new concept of health, realize the indispensable role of mental health in children's healthy development, implement education according to the theory of comprehensive physical and mental ability structure, promote children's mental health and develop children's greater psychological potential. Second, give full play to the subjectivity of teachers and children in mental health. Third, the implementation of any goal and content of mental health education should run through the whole semester or even the whole school year, and the whole process of kindergarten education can form children's good personality quality, that is, the degree of knowledge and behavior habits. Fourthly, mental health education should adhere to the principle of combining random education with special education activities in life and the principle of permeability. Special education activities mainly play an important role in children's mental health development, but the formation of children's healthy personality and psychological quality can not be completed in one or several activities, which is a long-term process. In addition, children's access to more health experiences depends on daily life and is completed with the development of various activities. 5. Overcome adults' misconceptions about mental health: (1) They are not familiar with children's psychological age characteristics, and regard the psychological manifestations that are not suitable for routine and need to be corrected in children's normal psychological development as pathological. (2) Ignoring the child's personality characteristics, thinking that the child's normal and unconventional personality and psychological performance is wrong, and deliberately helping the child to correct it. (3) Simplifying mental health education, thinking that children's healthy personality can be completed through several educational activities, and thinking that children have a certain psychological understanding is equivalent to forming corresponding emotional attitudes and behavior habits, ignoring the long-term complexity of the formation and development of children's personality psychology. (D) Not paying attention to the central position of children's healthy emotions in mental health education can not substantially change the "vice position" of emotional education.
