How to carry out mental health education for primary school students

In our current lives, many people may have mental health problems, and students are also frequently engaging in extreme behaviors. Therefore, it is very important for us to provide psychological education to our children in school and at home. How do we do it specifically? The editor will give you a detailed introduction to some methods of mental health education for primary school students.

1. Subtle hints to build confidence

Self-confidence is a person's correct understanding and full evaluation of his own abilities, which is a good psychological quality. Confident children are enthusiastic and optimistic, not afraid of setbacks, and can achieve their goals with firm beliefs and tenacious perseverance. However, primary school students currently generally lack self-confidence and have a negative mentality of inferiority. Congenital physical defects, status in the class, and conflicts among students may all cause people to feel inferior. The existence of this negative mentality prevents students from treating their shortcomings with a correct attitude and a calm mind.

2. Teach methods and promote communication

George Bernard Shaw once said: If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange these apples, then you and I still each have an apple. But if you have a thought and I have a thought, and we communicate these thoughts to each other, then each of us will have two thoughts. The communication among primary school students has the function of obtaining information and is conducive to their socialization. Through communication, they not only have an objective understanding of themselves, but also have some understanding of others. They are neither self-centered nor self-destructive, but know how to learn from each other and cooperate and communicate. Some primary school students often encounter failures in relationships. Sometimes their words and actions are not malicious, but are not understood and accepted by others, leading to conflicts and misunderstandings.

3. Be good at guiding and cultivating emotions

As primary school students grow, their knowledge accumulates, their various abilities continue to improve, their physiology and psychology undergo drastic changes, and their emotional experiences gradually become richer. But they are in a semi-immature and semi-mature period, with intertwined contradictions. Their emotions and feelings are unbalanced and unstable, which often breeds negative emotions and feelings. Teachers should first understand students, respect students, communicate with students frequently, and pay attention to every bit of progress made by students. Secondly, teachers should let students know which emotions and feelings are good and easy to accept, and which emotions and feelings are bad and should be controlled and eliminated. People with good willpower are characterized by strong faith, courage, optimism, strong self-control, perseverance and indomitable spirit.

You have now learned the details of the effective methods of providing mental health education to children mentioned above. Whether we are parents or teachers, we must provide children with timely and certain psychological education. Only in this way can they have a healthy mentality which is helpful for their study and life.
