First of all, students' mental health education is an important work to implement quality education.
Today's primary school students are much more nervous about their studies than those decades ago. At the same time, they have to face many negative social, family and moral phenomena, which will hurt their children psychologically. Especially the parents of many only children, give whatever they want materially; Excessive protection and interference in life; Pay too much attention to grades in learning, but ignore children's psychological needs. This situation will lead to the formation of children's bad personality, which in turn will lead to psychological barriers. Therefore, mental health education has become a routine task for teachers, which reflects the question of whether quality education can be really implemented.
Second, mental health education can cultivate students' good psychological quality.
Underachievers are usually lax in discipline, poor in thinking and unsatisfactory in academic performance, which is also the difficulty of class management. In order to break through this difficulty and do a good job of transformation, I think we should attach importance to the education of students' mental health in classroom teaching, various educational activities and the work of class teachers.
Thirdly, attaching importance to the mental health education of primary school students is the need of their physical and mental development characteristics.
The formation and development of people's mental health level is a process of practice and education, and a process of continuous development from childhood to adulthood and then to old age. Adolescence is an important development stage of life, and some characteristics of adolescent physical and mental development determine that mental health education in this period is very necessary.
Fourthly, strengthening the mental health education of primary school students is the need of the current social change period.
With the further development of reform and opening up, some changes caused by social changes or some factors that are inevitably bred temporarily have a negative impact on the psychological state of teenagers. From the family point of view, parents' moral cultivation, education level, education methods and family environment conditions have a direct and significant impact on students' moral and psychological growth, not to mention "single-parent families" and "problem families". Therefore, improper family education is one of the important reasons for children's psychological problems. From the school's point of view, fierce competition for further studies, one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate, frequent examinations, students' scores ranking, and improper teachers' educational behavior may all lead students to fall into an unbalanced state such as tension, anxiety, worry and depression. From the social point of view, there are some negative influences in society, such as pornography, violence, illegal video game halls, illegal internet cafes, etc. It has caused bad stimulation to young people.
