First, create a harmonious environment.
As children grow up, they will leave their parents and familiar warm homes and enter kindergartens. Because I am not familiar with the surrounding environment, I always feel unsafe and alert everywhere. At this time, the teacher's attitude will have an important impact on the children. Therefore, teachers should treat children with kindness and sincere love, play with them, sing together, touch their heads, kiss their faces, express their feelings of love, and let them feel close and safe to you, and feel the warmth and happiness of the class. This requires teachers to create a harmonious and pleasant environment, so that every child can feel relaxed and free at home, with positive emotions and good psychological factors. I once taught a child, her name was Xiaoqing. She has been in kindergarten for more than a semester, and she cries every time she comes to kindergarten. Her parents can't help her So the teachers in our class often take the initiative to chat with Xiaoqing, encourage her to associate with children, make her feel that kindergarten is like a big family, and let her feel the teacher's love for her. Gradually, she became cheerful, gregarious, happy and often smiled. Now she always greets the teacher with a smile when she comes.
Second, respect children's personality.
Seedlings need to be watered with love, and teachers must correctly guide children's self-education by respecting and trusting them. Therefore, teachers should respect children's personality, believe in children's awareness and ability of self-education, get along with children in a democratic and equal way, and let children feel the value and significance of self-existence. For children with strong personality, it is necessary to understand their interests, hobbies and other personality characteristics and emotional changes such as emotions, give targeted guidance, treat them as their own children, and influence and educate them with maternal love, thus arousing their strong self-esteem and self-confidence, overcoming their "extremely fragile" psychology and completing self-education. In the process of education, we should respect both children's personalities and their differences, and treat them equally. For children who are withdrawn and introverted, we should pay special attention to and carry out various game learning activities in time, create favorable conditions for them, raise their awareness of active participation in activities, cultivate their ability of active communication, help them overcome their psychological troubles of bad personality and rebuild their self-confidence. Once, the small Rubik's cube in the classroom toy cupboard disappeared. When I asked in class, I found Wang clutching his pocket and blushing. So I said in a mysterious tone, "I know which child the little Rubik's Cube must have been to, and it will go home soon, because the little Rubik's Cube likes to play with everyone." I looked at him with trusting eyes, and he bowed his head shyly. I said, "Let's go out and play games first!" "I cleverly gave him a chance. After the game, a small Rubik's cube appeared in the toy cupboard. I looked at Wang and smiled, and he smiled back.
Third, create opportunities for children to show.
In teaching, especially in observation and discussion activities, we can observe that in order to successfully complete the teaching task, teachers always pay attention to the more active children and give them many opportunities to show. However, relatively introverted children seldom take care of them, which is really unfair to these children. We should treat every child equally and provide them with more opportunities to show, which is the requirement of the new curriculum concept. Therefore, teachers should be persuasive and use more encouraging evaluations according to children's personality characteristics and vary from person to person. Give full affirmation and praise to the questions they answered, help them build their self-confidence and regain their dignity, thus enhancing their awareness of participating in activities and self-presentation. On the other hand, what will happen if the teacher takes the method of praising first and then criticizing when the child makes mistakes? Imagine that if you do something wrong and someone praises you first, you will definitely think that he has ulterior motives, and the unlucky things may still be behind. Praise is actually not difficult for you. There is a timid child in the class. Every time she asks questions, she always lowers her head, dares not speak, and sometimes cries inexplicably. So when I was playing games, I specially helped her find a little teacher to help her study and answer questions with her. She got the right answer, and everyone gave her a "thumbs up" without hesitation. Now, children are much more interested in learning and have greater courage. It can be seen that being good at discovering the child's little progress is his "bright spot". At the same time, we should praise it moderately in front of the whole class. When the child's self-confidence recovers a little, he will naturally become cheerful and generous, eager to communicate with his classmates and become good friends with them.
Fourth, play the role of home cooperation.
An important reason for children's negative emotional and psychological problems comes from family. Due to parents' busy work, improper family education methods, or family changes, the communication time between parents and children is relatively reduced, which leads to the lack of family affection and brings some negative emotional and psychological problems to children. Therefore, the education of children can not be separated from the cooperation and support of parents, so that families can form an educational synergy and improve the effectiveness of children's mental health education. For example, many parents now teach their children to resist and retaliate, fearing that their children will suffer. Teachers are always kind, no matter what happens, they teach children to "value harmony" and don't start work. In this way, family education and kindergarten education run counter to each other, and children are at a loss, even causing psychological shadows, and they are "hands-on" under any circumstances, forming a vicious circle.
In a word, mental health education is not an easy task, especially for children, who need the love of teachers. Because only love can warm children's young hearts, restore their self-confidence, realize self-education and promote their healthy development.
