Is mental health important in early childhood?
Every child has his own unique personality, and his personality and psychology determine his behavior. There is a saying that temperament determines character, and character determines fate. Indeed, in daily life, we will also find that different children have different personalities. Under the influence of society, family, school and peer groups, children's psychology and personality are undergoing small changes every day. In addition, children are the key beginning of human life growth and development, and their personality and mental health are paid more and more attention.

As a kindergarten teacher, I deeply understand the importance of children's mental health in my daily communication and understanding with children. Mental health determines whether a child's behavior is correct after responding to the environment.

Every child has every child's psychological personality characteristics, and some children are cheerful, generous and positive. However, some children are withdrawn, sensitive and unsociable, and some children are more emotional and unpredictable. Everything is done according to one's own mood, and the dissuasion or persuasion of others rarely plays a role in controlling one's behavior. Therefore, it is also a difficult task for teachers to maintain their emotional stability by attracting children's attention. From now on, this will affect the enthusiasm of children to cooperate with other peers, and in the long run, it will be unfavorable for children's future interpersonal communication and character formation. Therefore, children's mental health is extremely important for children.

? Mental health refers to a state in which life is well adapted. Mental health includes two meanings: first, there is no mental illness, which is the most basic condition of mental health; The second is to have a positive mental state, that is, to be able to maintain their mental health.

Children's mental health refers to children's good emotional and social mental state after their reasonable needs and wishes are met. A good psychological state is manifested as: children are self-satisfied, lively and happy, able to adapt to the surrounding environment, friendly and harmonious interpersonal relationships, and children's intelligence and wisdom are fully displayed and brought into play. Specifically, it mainly includes the following aspects:

Children can know themselves correctly. If you know your own advantages and disadvantages, you won't embarrass yourself for what you can't do. You can gradually learn to control your emotions and keep an optimistic mood.

Have the spirit of self-confidence, self-acceptance and self-control, and be able to actively face the problems and difficulties encountered in life and adapt to the environment. Self-confidence is a positive attitude. Only when children believe in themselves will they be proactive and forge ahead. It can be seen that self-confidence is an essential psychological quality for success. It is particularly important to cultivate children's self-confidence and routine self-control.

Can get along well with people and be good at coordinating interpersonal relationships. Being friendly with others is also necessary for children's mental health. It is difficult to use a unified standard to judge whether a person is mentally healthy. Therefore, it is generally believed that we should take the adaptation of the overall behavior as the benchmark, rather than paying too much attention to the existence of individuals. Understanding the basic connotation of mental health can help us to judge our mental health and take corresponding mental health care measures, so as to achieve comprehensive physical and mental health.

The research results of children's mental health education are increasing day by day. When kindergartens carry out this work, they can only stay in the superficial understanding of the phenomenon and can't understand its essence from the phenomenon. Therefore, in many cases, the final result of their work can only be a summary of experience, and it is difficult to get deeper development and deepen the theme, which hinders the in-depth development of children's mental health education.

In short, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. "We can't give children the knowledge and skills to cope with life. But we can give children the ability of independent thinking, practical ability and practical ability, the spirit of exploring new knowledge and the passion of innovation, and give them good moral quality and routine habits. Only by caring for children's mental health can all our children grow up healthily and happily in the caring sunshine and become qualified children with physical and mental health. Let's join hands, shoulder to shoulder, and work together to make the flowers of the motherland bloom brilliantly in the sun.
