After two years of follow-up research, the research group led by Zhou Bin, a professor at East China Normal University, believes that practicing calligraphy can reduce children's psychological anxiety, help children control their emotions, and make their personality more peaceful and their thinking more open.
Why does calligraphy practice promote children's mental health? According to Zhou Bin's analysis, this is mainly because there are two kinds of mentality in the process of calligraphy creation, namely "empty silence" and "passionate modality". The former needs children's concentration, which has a positive impact on improving children's emotional stability and cultivating peaceful temperament; On the other hand, passionate creation is passionate and compulsive, which plays an important role in improving children's thinking openness.
He believes that children need to pay attention to every writing action when practicing Chinese calligraphy, which can relieve mental tension, activate children's cerebral cortex, regulate heart rate, breathing and blood pressure, and reduce the level of psychological anxiety. At the same time, children can experience a relaxed feeling through a series of processes, which helps to improve their self-control ability.
1992, the world health organization released a brand-new concept of "health": a person is completely healthy only if he is sound in four aspects: physical health, mental health, good social adaptation and moral health.
Childhood is an important period to cultivate mental health quality, and people pay more and more attention to mental health. Children's mental health refers to the state that children's whole psychological activities and psychological characteristics are coordinated, moderately developed and relatively stable, and adapt to the objective environment.
