A 2000-word paper on children's mental health education "On some problems of children's mental health education today"
Health is the most basic human need and the most important social goal. However, people's understanding of what health is is not completely consistent. In many people's minds, when it comes to health, it is understood that the body is not sick and the body is strong. This simple view of physical health is one-sided and ignores the importance of mental health. In children's health education, the emphasis on children's physical health education and the lack of children's mental health education are not conducive to children's all-round physical and mental development. It can be seen that it is particularly important to overcome the one-sidedness of the traditional health view and establish a correct health view. Especially in today's children's mental health education, there are many educational problems, so this article will make a superficial comb.

Children's mental health is a necessary condition for the perfection of children's personality and the internal foundation of children's spirit and development. Only with mental health can children develop in an all-round way. On the other hand, without mental health, children's development will be limited, and personality disorder or mental illness may appear in their later development. At present, children have different degrees of mental health problems. With regard to the problems existing in today's social mental health education, I have summarized the following points:
First, there is insufficient attention and understanding of children's mental health education.
As early as 1977, the World Health Organization put forward the concept of health? Should it be a complete state of physical, psychological and social adaptation? Psychological and social adaptation are two important factors of health. However, in a considerable number of kindergartens, there is an obvious phenomenon of attaching importance to physical health care while ignoring mental health care. The main reasons for this lack of attention to children's mental health education are the general lack of knowledge about children's mental health, vague understanding of children's physical and mental relationship, and failure to recognize the importance of children's mental health. Many people regard some abnormal manifestations of children's psychology as natural phenomena in children's growth and ignore them.
Second, children's mental health education has not yet formed a complete theoretical system and lacks strict systematicness.
Children's mental health education has not formed its own complete theoretical system, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, up to now, there is no monograph on children's mental health education except a few books on children's mental health, behavior and emotional problems; Secondly, among the few universities offering pre-school education in China, there are few courses for children's mental health education; Third, there is no national textbook for children's mental health, whether it is colleges or kindergarten teachers. Fourth, although the Regulations on Kindergarten Work proposes to do a good job in children's mental health care, its content is scattered and chaotic, which is mostly reflected in other contents, such as cultivating children's lively and cheerful personality and guiding the healthy development of children's personality. There is no internal connection system and unified concept between these contents, and many contents about children's mental health and education have not been included in education or attracted the attention of educators. As a result, when we carry out mental health education for young children, most of us can only learn from the theories and experiences of other adjacent disciplines, primary and secondary schools and adult mental health education, and the integration is not strong enough.
Third, the separation of theory and practice.
In recent years, more and more kindergartens attach importance to children's mental health education, and have accumulated many useful experiences in practice. And many teachers in colleges and universities have begun to pay attention to the research of children's mental health education, and the research results of children's mental health education are increasing day by day. However, there is a prominent problem worthy of attention, that is, the disconnection between theory and practice. On the one hand, researchers engaged in infant health education in colleges and universities rarely go deep into kindergartens for guidance, let alone establish several points for long-term experiments; On the other hand, when kindergartens carry out this work, they can only stay on the superficial understanding of the phenomenon and cannot 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 further develop it and deepen the theme, which hinders the in-depth education of children's mental health.
Fourthly, teachers lack the professional knowledge of children's mental health education.
The implementation of educational activities depends to a great extent on the quality of educators, the structure and richness of professional knowledge. However, in the long-standing pre-school normal education system, knowledge updating has not fully kept up with the requirements of the development of the situation, which directly leads to the lack of professional knowledge of mental health education for kindergarten teachers. Solid knowledge of children's mental health education is the premise of children's mental health education. At the same time, how to grasp the relationship between children's mental health education and children's science education and pay attention to the integration of educational content will also affect the implementation of children's mental health education. At present, the problems existing in mental health education in many kindergartens are closely related to this.
Fifth, the specific operation is unscientific.
1. violates the principle of mental health education. For example, children's aggressive behavior belongs to conduct disorder, so we should insist on positive education, set an example, or take temporary isolation and reduce stimulation. However, some kindergarten teachers use catharsis to correct such children, provide them with broken items and let them vent their anger. Research shows that children gain more offensive skills after venting, which can produce stronger aggressive tendencies. Therefore, catharsis violates the principle of mental health education. Some teachers even use corporal punishment to treat such children, which further strengthens children's aggressive behavior, because corporal punishment itself has played a demonstration role in children's aggressive behavior.
2. The problem of unsynchronized family education. It is a good thing for kindergartens to educate young children on mental health, but if we do not pay attention to the close cooperation with parents in the implementation, the efforts of kindergartens may be wasted. A kindergarten has been insisting on cultivating children's social communication ability for several years, aiming to let children learn to communicate, share and cooperate with others and improve their social adaptability. However, in practice, they ignore the contact and cooperation with their families. Some families have always adopted a doting and laissez-faire education method for their children, which has led to the conflict between kindergarten teaching and family teaching, and education has not received the due results.
3. Can't distinguish psychological problems from moral problems. Lying is a common phenomenon among some young children. On the one hand, children lie because of their low level of cognitive development, which is inconsistent with the facts in thinking, memory, imagination and judgment; On the other hand, it is because children are afraid of being punished for doing something wrong, or because teachers and parents are too strict with their children. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze and treat children lying differently. If it is caused by low cognitive level, it is a problem in the process of psychological development. If it is caused by too strict requirements, it is an education problem, but these are essentially different from lying in adulthood, and there is no moral and immoral problem. However, in some kindergartens, it is not uncommon to confuse psychological problems with moral problems in case of stealing or lying, in order to prevent children from being scolded for their bad morals.
4. Adult mental health education. Because children's mental health education has not yet formed its own theoretical system, some kindergartens often learn from the experience and model of mental health education in primary and secondary schools and even adults when implementing mental health education for children. This leads to the neglect of children's practical acceptance in the process of education. For example, in the psychological correction of some children with behavioral problems, some kindergarten teachers simply copy some behavioral therapy methods without considering what kind of negative effects this method will have on children. As a result, behavioral problems are not corrected and new adaptation problems appear. In fact, children's mental health education is an integral part of children's quality education system engineering, and there are still many problems to be solved.
This paper only analyzes some important problems in children's mental health education, and the solution of these problems depends on the establishment and perfection of mental health education model on the one hand, and the joint efforts of kindergartens, families and society on the other. Paying attention to children's mental health is not an easy task, but a major event related to the future of our nation. In this regard, we have to take it out? Young, young, young? Let all our children grow up healthily and happily in the sunshine of the whole society and become qualified children with physical and mental health in the future.
The times are developing, education is reforming and children are growing. Adhering to mental health education is the symbol of modern moral education, the key to improving children's comprehensive quality, and an urgent and important topic for every teacher. So-called? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. It is impossible for us to give our children the knowledge and skills to cope with life, but the ability to study and think independently, the ability to practice, the passion and spirit to explore new knowledge and create, and good moral quality and habits are the precious wealth we should give our children. As teachers, we should use love to light the "lights" in every child's heart and raise the sails of progress. As long as everyone pays attention to the growth process of children, everything is for the development of every child? If this core problem can be realized, then the flower of education will bloom more and more beautifully.
