I once taught a male student. He is a very clever boy, but he likes to fight in class, and even deliberately destroys classroom discipline. I know privately that this student just wants to attract the attention of teachers and classmates, so I often encourage him to be confident and self-reliant, and tell him that teachers and classmates like him very much, hoping that he can live up to expectations. The student realized his importance in the group and became very smart from then on. He took the initiative to help the teacher manage the affairs in the class and his grades improved obviously. This shows that mental health education plays an important role in students' progress.
I think it is very important to carry out mental health education for primary school students, mainly in the following aspects:
First, attaching importance to the mental health education of primary school students is the need to ensure the normal and healthy development of students.
From the perspective of individual development, attaching importance to mental health education of primary and secondary school students has three meanings to individual development.
First, it can promote the success of students' academic career. It is an important guarantee for students' academic success and career success to cultivate students' good psychological quality in a planned and purposeful way.
Second, it can promote the formation of students' good moral character. When students are in a normal and healthy psychological state, they are most likely to accept all kinds of social requirements and moral norms, adapt to society, and gradually form a good moral character that meets social requirements. Teenagers who are in a state of psychological imbalance are often easy to accept bad morals or make immoral behaviors, thus gradually forming bad morals.
Second, paying attention to the mental health education of primary school students is the need of the current social change period.
With the further development of reform and opening up, some changes caused by social changes or some factors that are inevitably bred temporarily have a negative impact on the psychological state of teenagers.
From the family point of view, the rising divorce rate, the depression of family atmosphere, parents' moral cultivation, education level, education methods and family environment conditions have a direct and significant impact on students' moral and psychological growth, not to mention "single-parent families" and "problem families". Therefore, improper family education is one of the important reasons for children's psychological problems.
From the school's point of view, fierce competition for further studies, one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate, frequent examinations, students' scores ranking, and improper teachers' educational behavior may all lead students to fall into an unbalanced state such as tension, anxiety, worry and depression.
From the social point of view, there are some negative influences in society, such as pornography, violence, illegal video game halls, illegal internet cafes, etc. It has caused bad stimulation to young people. Therefore, it is particularly important to strengthen students' mental health education, understand the society with a healthy attitude and adjust themselves.
Thirdly, attaching importance to the mental health education of primary school students is the need to ensure social stability and family happiness.
From the perspective of mental health, people's mental state can be divided into three situations: normal state, unbalanced state and unhealthy state. Generally speaking, individuals are in a normal state of mind, and there is not much trouble. Once an individual encounters major "life events", such as setbacks, unsatisfied desires, threats, etc. People will enter an unbalanced state of mind. Under normal circumstances, people will eliminate this imbalance through self-regulation. If they can't adjust alone, they will be persuaded by others to eliminate their inner imbalance and return to normal. If you can't return to the normal state through self-regulation or guidance from others for various reasons, you will have an unhealthy mentality. Paying attention to students' psychological health education and timely counseling can make people in an unbalanced or unhealthy state return to normal state, greatly reduce students' illegal crimes and abnormal behaviors, maintain normal public order and order in schools and society, and ensure the happiness of students' families.
Strengthening mental health education for primary and middle school students, effectively solving psychological problems and making them grow up healthily has become a strict requirement for cultivating all-round talents, an inevitable trend of modern education development and the key to whether a person has a healthy and happy life, which also reflects the importance of mental health education.
To sum up, students' mental health education plays a very important role in students' physical and mental development, society, school and family. As teachers in the future, we must master the methods of psychological consultation in order to guide students' psychological characteristics to develop in a healthy direction, face up to students' psychological health education, promote the healthy development of primary school students, improve their personality, and cultivate qualified talents for the 2 1 century.
