First, grasp the five principles of mental health education.
1. Comprehensive principle: All education should be geared to all students, and mental health education is no exception.
2. Objectivity principle: Because the object of mental health education is social people who exist objectively, the objectivity principle must be followed when conducting educational activities.
3. Dynamic principle: Because the age, culture and physiology of the educated object are constantly changing, their cognitive level, endurance, inner experience and behavior performance are all "unstable factors" of change. Therefore, in education, we should adhere to the dynamic principle instead of the so-called "final decision".
4. Systematic principle: communication is an important feature of people. Any individual, regardless of his inner thoughts and actual performance, is a part of the system and a "meeting point" and "distribution center" of various factors. Therefore, we should carry out systematic mental health education from their psychological state, process, characteristics, will and morality.
5. The principle of concreteness: Although the overall level of students is basically the same, the specific stage, specific time and specific things are analyzed. Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine and effectively solve related problems.
Second, focus on the following aspects of education for students:
1. Know yourself
The student stage is not only the age of long body, long knowledge and long determination, but also the age of easy mood fluctuation and capricious behavior. It is also a period of sudden change in physical and mental development. Their physiology and psychology are slowly changing with the growth of age and the arrival of adolescence, and they are faced with learning that requires a lot of energy. In addition, their perseverance to overcome setbacks and difficulties is not enough, which makes them easy to give up and feel confused, annoyed and confused. Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we know ourselves correctly and establish a positive self-image can we succeed. Therefore, students must learn to use the dialectical relationship between internal and external factors to improve their ideological awareness and understanding, so as to resist the infringement of external adverse factors, eliminate all kinds of confusion, troubles and confusion in the process of growth, correctly treat honor and disgrace, right and wrong, gains and losses, and correctly treat themselves in growth.
Protect yourself
Most children nowadays are only children. Many children live in the care, consideration, care and even doting of their parents and elders for a long time, and gradually become delicate grass in the greenhouse. They only know how to ask for food and reach for clothes. But society is realistic and cruel! Their unguarded hearts often become fragile at the touch of their fingers. In addition, they lack training in communication, exchange and cooperation with others, so we not only let children learn to understand, adapt and tolerate in the process of interpersonal communication, but also let them learn to cooperate, prevent and protect, and help them add a firewall psychologically.
Adjust yourself
It is far from enough to know and protect yourself, and there is no 100% security. As the saying goes: there are unexpected events in the sky, and people are doomed to misfortune. Faced with some unexpected information, especially things they don't want to hear, see or think about, they often crush the weak-willed completely in a short time. Therefore, it is very important to adjust yourself correctly, improve the tolerance to setbacks and face setbacks correctly. We should help them get out of the cage in their hearts and release energy; Let them learn to fight against fate and firmly believe that success comes from unremitting efforts.
4. Take care of yourself
To care for yourself better, we must establish good interpersonal relationships. First of all, let students learn to get along with others and be willing to associate with others. Guide them to learn from others with an open mind in their communication and constantly enrich their inner world; Open yourself in communication and let others know, understand and accept yourself. Secondly, we should treat each other with sincerity and learn to be tolerant. Without sincerity and tolerance, there is no harmonious, good and comfortable study and living environment, and there is no warm, harmonious and intimate interpersonal relationship. Third, be easy-going, but not unprincipled. In the friendly communication with people, there is no doubt that we need to adapt to each other and adopt a relatively easy-going attitude of being strict with ourselves and being lenient with others. However, there must be no unprincipled accommodation and echo; Otherwise, people will think that he has no independent personality and can't get respect and trust from others. Fourth, we should care about the needs of others, learn to praise others and overcome jealousy. Jealousy is a manifestation of a person's inferiority and lack of confidence. This is short-sighted and selfish. Everyone who wants to have a healthy mind should abandon it, reject it and stay away from it. The principle of psychology also tells us that it is the same psychological state of people to want to be cared for by others. Therefore, caring for each other, praising others and overcoming jealousy are very beneficial to enhancing friendship and promoting mental health of both sides. Guide them to learn good qualities from many friends, learn the strengths of others, and cultivate their own character and will.
