Mental health of young children means that their psychological development reaches the normal level of young children in the corresponding age group, with positive emotions, cheerful personality, no psychological disorders, and quick adaptation to the environment. It should be noted that the mental health of young children is an equally important issue as their physical health, however, in the process of early childhood education, people tend to focus only on physical health and neglect the education of mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of actively implementing mental health education for young children, and put it in an important position, so that it can be effectively grasped. The new “Outline” clearly puts forward “the establishment of a correct concept of health”, which is conducive to overcoming the one-sided understanding of the health of young children, and has important guiding significance for the health education of young children. Health is the most basic requirement for human beings and the most important social goal. However, people are not entirely consistent in their understanding of what health is. In many people’s minds, when health is mentioned, it is understood as the absence of disease in the body and a strong physique. This purely physical view of health is very one-sided and ignores the importance of mental health. In early childhood health education, there is a preference for physical health education for young children and a lack of content in mental health education for young children, and this tendency is not conducive to the overall development of young children’s bodies and minds. Therefore, how to overcome the one-sidedness of the traditional health concept, establish a correct health concept, and completely divest health to the management of health care work is an important issue that we need to focus on in our work at present. The so-called correct “health concept” not only refers to the physical health of young children, but also includes the mental health of young children. The health of young children is the organic unity of physical and mental health. The “right concept of health” emphasizes a healthy whole, and this concept of health is in line with the new understanding of health in the international community.
