Primary school students' mental health education is an important part of quality education, and it is also an important link to implement the "Action Plan for Revitalizing Education Facing 2 1 Century" and the "Cross-century Quality Education Project" to cultivate cross-century high-quality talents. At the same time, it is also an inevitable requirement of modern education to effectively carry out mental health education for primary school students, and it is also a common urgent task faced by primary school educators.

First, the meaning and importance of mental health in primary schools

The so-called mental health refers to the best functional state of individual psychology within its own and environmental conditions. Psychologists believe that the primary school stage is an important period for the formation of psychological quality of life, and whether its mental health will seriously affect the behavior of adults. How to make primary school students have a healthy psychology and how to make them develop on a healthy track is a big problem for educators. To cultivate pupils' healthy psychology, there must be appropriate training forms.

Second, the mental health problems of primary school students

Learning anxiety

In some large and medium-sized cities in China, more than 10% of primary school students have learning anxiety. A responsible comrade of the State Education Commission said at a meeting that 30% of primary and secondary school students are tired of learning, and some counties are as high as 60%.

The above problems are mainly due to the intensification of students' learning competition, excessive learning burden, and excessive emphasis on grades by schools, teachers and parents, which has caused heavy psychological pressure on primary school students. According to a statistic of Liaoning Education Research Institute, the extracurricular homework of primary and middle school students in Liaoning Province is 60% higher than the standard stipulated by the State Education Commission 1995, and many parents also give their children "small stoves".
