What is the standard of children's mental health?

The standards of children's mental health include normal cognitive development, emotional health, moderate emotional response, willingness to communicate with others, harmonious interpersonal relationship and good personality characteristics.

First of all, cognitive development is normal:

Normal cognitive development is an important symbol of children's mental health. Because normal cognitive level is the basic psychological condition for children to live and study and achieve balance and coordination with the surrounding environment. Early childhood is a period of extremely rapid cognitive development, so we should try our best to avoid brain injury or inappropriate environmental stimulation and prevent children from having unhealthy psychology.

Second, emotional health and moderate emotional response:

Emotion is an inner experience of objective things, which is not only a psychological process, but also the background of psychological activities. A good emotional state reflects the coordination of the central nervous system function, and also indicates that the individual's body and mind are in a good balance state.

Children's emotions are impulsive and changeable, and they are also relatively exposed. However, with the growth of age, the self-regulation of emotional process has been strengthened, which is manifested in the reduction of emotional impulsiveness, gradual improvement of stability and implicit enhancement. Children with mental health can react moderately to various stimuli in the environment and release negative emotions reasonably.

Third, be willing to communicate with others and have harmonious interpersonal relationships;

Generally speaking, mentally healthy children are willing to communicate with others, good at understanding and accepting others, and easy to be understood and accepted by others. They are good at cooperating with others and enjoy it, respect others' opinions and treat others with generosity and tolerance. On the contrary, children who are mentally unhealthy may haggle over every ounce and cannot tolerate it; Or indifferent to people; Or reticent, withdrawn, etc.

Fourth, good personality characteristics:

Personality is the core and essential expression of personality, which is reflected in the stable attitude towards objective reality and habitual behavior. Children's character is gradually formed in the interaction with the surrounding environment. Mental health children generally have personality characteristics such as enthusiasm, courage, self-confidence, initiative, modesty, generosity, cooperation and honesty.
