What is psychological education?
Psychological education is about the education and cultivation of people's psychological growth and thinking growth. The purpose of psychological education is to cultivate healthy psychology and perfect thinking ability, and then cultivate the educated's independent, sound and perfect personality, so that they can develop well in personal development ability, happiness feeling ability, career success ability, etc., and better play their social role and realize the value of life.

From the psychological point of view, the most critical period of mental ability training is in a person's childhood, so the age of 2-7 is the golden window of mental education.

Psychological ability is an essential basic ability for modern people, while traditional education and modern school education in China mostly focus on the education of knowledge, skills and morality, and the cultivation of psychological ability is not systematic and professional enough. The lack of psychological ability is the root cause of many people's career development, lack of happiness in life, and even tragic events such as psychological collapse and behavior out of control due to poor stress resistance and poor emotional management ability.

As the saying goes, "Look at the old at the age of three, look at the old at the age of seven", which is about the spiritual factors that determine a person's life development, and has laid the foundation when he was three to seven years old. The ancients called it "mind", which is the mental growth that people understand today.

Although mental growth has long been recognized, due to the fuzziness of China traditional culture in many aspects, in terms of mind, our traditional education lacks an accurate description of the content of mental education, and even lacks specific standards and basis for the cultivation of mental ability. Although the current school education has begun to involve mental development, it obviously lacks systematicness and professionalism. In addition, for a long time, the education system has attached great importance to knowledge and skills education and paid little attention to psychological education. Campus psychological education often stays on the remedial education of existing problems, while universal psychological education is still scarce on campus.

On the other hand, even in western countries that attach great importance to psychological education, psychological education is mainly based on family education. For a long time, family education in China is basically in a spontaneous state, and social public institutions lack necessary guidance and education for parents. Only recently did parent education begin to be incorporated into the national education policy. 20 15, 10 In June, the Ministry of Education issued "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Family Education", which made family education in China have a "national standard" for the first time. 20 1 1 16 10. In October, the All-China Women's Federation and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the Five-Year Plan for Guiding and Promoting Family Education (20 16-2020), and began to build a family education guidance service system that meets the needs of parents and children. Therefore, the education and cultivation of children's mental growth, which is mainly based on family education, has attracted more and more attention from all walks of life, especially parents of children.

As far as psychological education itself is concerned, there are also relevant education and training institutions in the society to carry out relevant education and training, but most of these institutions can only carry out fragmented and fragmented training, lacking professional, theoretical, systematic and scientific educational concepts and methods for parents and children.

At present, Visual Education and Training System for Children's Mental Growth is a series of audio books for children's mental education officially published by China Youth (Audio-visual) Publishing House, the most authoritative publishing institution for children's education in China, in 20 15. For the families of children aged 2-7, a complete education and training system has been formed for parents and children to learn and grow together.

This series of audio books brings together experts and scholars at home and abroad and senior professionals in the front line of education, draws lessons from the research results of foreign institutions such as Harvard University in the United States, establishes a systematic theoretical system of psychological education, puts forward a series of theoretical viewpoints such as "three levels of personal growth (namely, physical growth, knowledge growth and psychological growth)", and puts forward the specific content indicators of "twelve minds" for the first time, which not only spreads educational ideas, but also teaches educational methods, and has been highly recognized by experts and scholars in the education field.

In order to adapt to the trend of family education in the Internet age, "Cats Say Mind" launched the online course of children's mental education on 20 16, and built an all-Internet education platform with parents' independent learning and children's participation to provide professional services for family education.
