Children with mental health must be normal at the development level, which includes the development of intelligence, language and social adaptability, and even the development of motor coordination.
A mentally healthy child should behave like a child of the same age. For example, a person whose attention is obviously worse than that of children of the same age and whose control is obviously lower than that of children of the same age can not be considered as mental health.
2. Children's mental health education should focus on prevention.
Prevention in advance is more important than early intervention. Children's mental health education should focus on prevention first, and then make judgments on children's psychological problems in time, so as to achieve early intervention and early treatment.
The traditional idea is to intervene after children's problem behaviors appear, but we think early prevention is more important. From the perspective of the whole life, early prevention can nip in the bud and make children develop healthily in the transitional period of each psychological development stage.
3. Children's mental health education should focus on promotion.
We should not only promote the mental health development of children, but also promote the mental health development of teachers and parents.
Mental health education should ensure children's mental health development, improve children's happiness, and emphasize parents and teachers to help, respond and nurture children from the front. This includes the propaganda of mental health education for parents, teachers and other caregivers, as well as the requirements for children to learn mental health knowledge by themselves.
4. Although children's self-awareness is immature and unstable, it has a great influence on their personality development and behavioral adaptation.
Children usually know themselves, evaluate themselves and adjust their behaviors and emotions through the evaluation and attitude of adults, comparison with peers and success or failure in games and communication.
Children with weak self-awareness lack foresight and skills to deal with setbacks and conflicts, and often have emotional and behavioral obstacles such as willfulness, aggressive behavior and withdrawal behavior. Therefore, we should strengthen the cultivation of self-awareness and protect children's mental health.
