Primary school students are in a critical period of physical and mental development. If psychological imbalance or personality deviation occurs during this period, it will have a serious adverse impact on their life growth. Today, with the full implementation of quality education, the goal of our education is to cultivate people with all-round development and become useful talents in society. All-round development includes healthy physical and mental development. Health is not only physical health in the traditional sense, but also includes good mental state and sound social adaptability, that is, physical and mental health. Having a healthy psychology is the key to becoming a useful talent in society, so it is particularly important to strengthen mental health education for primary school students. At present, there are more and more psychological problems of primary school students, such as jealousy, inferiority, willfulness, loneliness and rebellion. All kinds of situations show that it is necessary to carry out mental health education for students. So, how can we do a good job in mental health education for primary school students?

First of all, the purpose of mental health education must be clear.

The purpose of mental health education for primary school students is to help students know themselves, accept themselves and manage themselves. Understand and master the surrounding environment and adapt to it; Help students solve the problems they face, cope with the crisis, get rid of difficulties, and enhance their ability and courage to face the environment and pressure; Make students get rid of special symptoms, improve their behavior and resolve negative thoughts and emotions; Guide students to choose, make decisions and make action plans; Encourage students to seek the meaning of life through exploration, realize their inherent potential, and enable them to live a healthy, meaningful and self-satisfied life.

Secondly, make clear the content of mental health education.

According to the characteristics of primary school students, its educational content generally includes five aspects: 1, health and physical development; 2. School education and life problems (lack of planning, poor study habits, inattention in reading, weariness of learning, truancy, etc.). ); 3. Personality problems (sentimentality, shyness, inferiority, overconfidence, carelessness, lack of sympathy, inability to get along with others, emotional instability, etc.). ); 4, the relationship between family and family members (parents dictatorship, unable to control their children, broken families, families that do not cooperate with the school, etc.). ); 5. Social and moral problems (lying, impoliteness, petty theft, frequent nicknames, fighting, bullying girls, etc. ).

Third, we must master several principles.

1, the principle of facing all students.

School mental health education promotes students' growth and development through guidance, guidance, help and service. When all students' education is effective, students' problems will occur less or be easily solved. Therefore, when making an education plan, we should take all students as the center, consider the common needs and problems of most students when determining the content of health education, and create conditions when organizing activities, so that as many students as possible can participate in it, especially those who are introverted, quiet, shy, poor in expression ability and less conspicuous, so that all students can get effective education.

2. Respect and understand the student principle.

Respect means respecting the personality and dignity of students and respecting the equal rights of every student. Understanding requires teachers to understand students with an equal attitude and according to their thoughts, actions and feelings. Respect and understanding are realized, and spiritual communication between teachers and students is realized, thus creating a feeling of "meeting one's own people". Only when teachers respect students will students respect themselves, cherish their achievements and progress, and experience the sense of dignity as human beings. Self-esteem, self-respect and self-confidence are important characteristics of a sound personality and one of the important goals pursued by mental health education. If a student is respected and understood by the teacher, he will trust the teacher and be willing to pour out his inner thoughts, fears and anguish to the teacher. This good relationship between teachers and students is the basic condition for mental health education to achieve results.

To implement this principle, we should pay attention to the following three points:

C, deepen the understanding of the aided students with the attitude and technology of empathy. In the process of education, teachers should "see the world through the eyes of the students being taught", feed back their own understanding and feelings to the students, and let the students feel the respect, understanding and acceptance of the teachers, so as to put aside psychological precautions and tell everything about their inner world.

3. The principle of students' subjectivity.

We should respect students' dominant position in education. Based on the needs of students, we should respect their dominant position and encourage them to "play a leading role". Students should be encouraged to express their views, vent their feelings and explore ways to solve problems. Teachers should avoid saying "listen to me" and "I'll tell you" and speak in an encouraging and consulting tone. Such as "I can understand", "I see", "Please continue", "Is that what you mean", "Please listen to my opinion", "I want to add something", "I sympathize with your situation" and so on.

4. The principle of difference.

Admit that there are obvious differences in students' mental health level. Fully respect the differences of students' mental health level, and give classified guidance to different grades and students to meet their different psychological needs. In particular, students with psychological or behavioral problems should be given special mental health education and individual guidance. Paying attention to students' individual differences and emphasizing individualized treatment are the essence of mental health education. Teachers should pay attention to the understanding of students' individual differences, not only their commonness, but also their individuality and differences. Through one-on-one and face-to-face contact, we can truly understand a student and properly handle the communication obstacles caused by students' shyness, inferiority and defensive psychology. Do a good job in case study. Accumulate case data to improve the effectiveness of individual education. Make personalized educational goals according to different individuals.

Fourth, in several ways.

The first is to carry out mental health education in classroom teaching.

Mental health education in classroom education refers to making full use of various psychological factors in classroom teaching, optimizing students' psychological environment, mobilizing students' learning enthusiasm and initiative, enabling students to acquire knowledge and enhance their culture, and at the same time, carrying out infiltration mental health education in a subtle way, thus promoting the improvement of students' overall psychological quality. Classroom teaching is not just knowledge education.
