1, summary
Health is the most basic requirement of human beings and the most important social goal. However, people's understanding of what health is is not completely consistent. In many people's minds, when it comes to health, it is understood that the body is not sick and the body is strong. This simple view of physical health is one-sided and ignores the importance of mental health. In children's health education, the emphasis on children's physical health education and the lack of children's mental health education are not conducive to children's all-round physical and mental development. Therefore, how to overcome the one-sidedness of traditional health view, establish a correct health view and completely separate health from the management scope of health care work is an important problem that needs to be solved in our current work.

3. Overview
With the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, mental health problems have attracted more and more attention from the whole society. Paying attention to individual mental health has become an important symbol of modern civilized people. Everyone with civilized consciousness knows that the mental health level of normal people is not only related to the quality of personal life, but also directly affects their labor efficiency and contribution to society. If a person suffers from mental illness, it will become a burden to society. Every parent at all times and all over the world wants their children to grow up healthily. Parents who care about whether their children will survive in the future society when they grow up cannot help but pay attention to their children's mental health. When it comes to the development of children's mental health, I have to talk about the significance of mental health in my opinion.
4. The significance of children's mental health.
When talking about the definition of children's mental health, we can't avoid the concept of mental health.
What exactly is mental health? Mental health generally refers to a person's mental state with normal intelligence, good mood, sound personality, adaptation to the environment, harmonious interpersonal relationship and psychological behavior in line with age characteristics. Specifically, it mainly includes the following aspects:
(1) Have a correct understanding and objective evaluation of yourself. People with mental health have a realistic and correct understanding of their strengths, weaknesses and personality characteristics. Know what you can do and what you are suitable for; I won't be hard on myself for the impossible.
(2) Have the spirit of self-confidence and self-improvement and the psychological motivation of self-development. People with mental health generally have clear life goals and the motivation for self-development. Therefore, in the face of difficulties and adversity, we can adjust and control our emotions, calmly treat and deal with all kinds of complex problems and keep moving forward.
(3) Be friendly to others and be good at coordinating interpersonal relationships. People with mental health can adopt a harmonious, friendly and overreaching attitude towards people and things; Problems and contradictions in interpersonal communication can be handled in a friendly, inclusive, fair and reasonable way, and it is easy to get along with others.
Step 5 answer questions
Maintain your own personality and personality characteristics; On the other hand, they have the ability to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and adapt to the needs of the environment. No matter in hard adversity or in smooth environment, they can develop themselves well.
It is difficult to judge a person's mental health with a unified standard, so general scholars believe that the adaptability of the whole behavior should be taken as the benchmark, and the existence of individual symptoms should not be overemphasized. Understanding the basic connotation of mental health can help us to judge our mental health and take corresponding mental health care measures, so as to achieve comprehensive physical and mental health.
6. Analysis of children's mental health.
Children's psychological education is based on "children-oriented", that is, children are taken care of as people with equal personality with adults. Teachers should not lose "respect" and "equality" while caring and loving children. In these two kinds of contemporary humanistic consciousness, teachers not only squat to communicate with children, but really put down the shelf of adults and communicate with children with their hearts. Although the child is young, he can feel this kind of "maternal love" care from the teacher. Only in this way can children grow up healthily under the warm care of teachers.
7. How to pay attention to children's mental health?
Children's mental health is a necessary condition for the perfection of children's personality and the internal foundation of children's spirit and development. Only with mental health can children develop in an all-round way. On the other hand, without mental health, children's development will be limited, and personality disorder or mental illness may appear in their later development. At present, children have different degrees of mental health problems. Mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the frustration tolerance is low, and it can't stand the bumps. Cry and lose your temper if you are not satisfied. Second, it lacks the ability to communicate with others and deal with interpersonal events. For most children, everything is centered on them in the family, but in the collective, they must consider the preferences and opinions of other peers. With the increase of only children, more and more children have little chance to get in touch with the outside world, which leads to confusion in interpersonal relationships. As Professor Ding Zan, a psychologist in China, said: "The most important thing in people's psychological education is to adapt to interpersonal communication, so people's psychological diseases are mainly due to interpersonal relationships." Therefore, as kindergarten teachers, we should pay more attention to children's mental health education.
8. Mental health education should start at an early age.
With the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, mental health problems have attracted more and more attention from the whole society. Paying attention to individual mental health has become an important symbol of modern civilized people. Everyone with civilized consciousness knows that the mental health level of normal people is not only related to the quality of personal life, but also directly affects their labor efficiency and contribution to society. If a person suffers from mental illness, it will become a burden to society. Every parent at all times and all over the world wants their children to grow up healthily. Parents who care about whether their children will survive in the future society when they grow up cannot help but pay attention to their children's mental health. What are the characteristics of mentally healthy children? We believe that at least the following five items should be included:
(1) Normal intelligence and strong curiosity.
(2) You can gradually learn to control your emotions and maintain an optimistic mood.
(3) Learn to communicate with people around you normally, know how to share and cooperate, respect others and be helpful.
(4) Self-acceptance and self-control, able to actively face the problems and difficulties encountered in life and adapt to the environment.
(5) Have good behavior habits and sound personality.
These five rules are not formed overnight, but depend on the cultivation of adults. How to train them? We should not forget the characteristics of children's physical and mental development and change. Mental health education should permeate all aspects of family life and the whole process of school education, and put forward different requirements for children of different ages. We should take "learning to recognize, learn to get along, learn to do things, learn to survive" as the goal of children's lifelong education, and we will certainly train children into pillars to adapt to social life in the new century.
9. In view of the problems existing in today's social mental health education, I have summarized the following points:
(1) Not paying enough attention to and understanding children's mental health education.
As early as 1977, the World Health Organization put forward that health should be a complete state of physical, psychological and social adaptation, and regarded psychological and social adaptation as the basic elements of health. However, in a considerable number of kindergartens, the current understanding of health is still at the level of bio-medical model, and the new model of bio-psychological-social medicine has not yet been realized. Therefore, it is obvious that physical health care is emphasized and mental health care is ignored. The main reasons for this lack of attention to children's mental health education are the general lack of knowledge about children's mental health, vague understanding of children's physical and mental relationship, and failure to recognize the importance of children's mental health. Many people regard some abnormal manifestations of children's psychology as natural phenomena in children's growth and ignore them.
(2) Children's mental health education has not yet formed a complete theoretical system and lacks strict systematicness.
Children's mental health education failed to form its own complete theoretical system, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, so far, there is no monograph on children's mental health education except a few books on children's mental health, behavior and emotional problems. Secondly, among the few universities offering pre-school education in China, there are few courses for children's mental health education; Third, there is no national textbook for children's mental health, whether it is colleges or kindergarten teachers. Fourth, although the Regulations on Kindergarten Work proposes to do a good job in children's mental health care, its content is scattered and chaotic, which is mostly reflected in other contents, such as cultivating children's lively and cheerful personality and guiding the healthy development of children's personality. There is no internal connection system and unified concept between these contents, and many contents about children's mental health and education have not been included in education or attracted the attention of educators.
