Mental health education for young families is really necessary!

Experts from the United Nations predicted in the 1990s that “no disaster will bring as much sustained and profound suffering as a psychological crisis between now and the middle of the 21st century.” Therefore, it is necessary for us to strengthen the mental health education for young children’s families. I. Guidance for carrying out early childhood family mental health education 1. guide parents to establish a scientific concept of education What kind of values parents have, including the corresponding concept of children, education and health, will have what kind of family parenting behavior. The most common problem of parents at the current conceptual level is spoiling and expecting too much from their children, which reflects the excessive anxiety of parents, and this anxiety is very damaging to the mental health of young children. Therefore, it is necessary to raise parents’ awareness of scientific parenting, to make them understand that psychological quality is indispensable among talent quality, and to realize that good psychological quality can play an important role in children’s later life development, and the formation of such good psychological quality is in a certain sense a direct result of good family upbringing. 2.Guide parents to use the correct education method After establishing a more correct concept of education, the method becomes very important. Some parents feel that they know some truths, but they lack methods, and sometimes problems often arise because of improper methods. We can let parents try to use the nurturing education method to implement mental health education for young children through contextual education, role model demonstration, behavioral drills, and synchronization at home, etc. We can put the main goal on cultivating good behavior and living habits for young children, and help them form a psychological stereotype or reflex that is beneficial to mental health, including personality mental qualities, emotions and emotions, social adaptation, etc.; we can also let parents learn compensatory education method, for young children who have already developed psychological problems, in addition to increasing the efforts of nurturing education, actively take mental health care measures to provide psychological counseling and treatment, such intervention is very important. For example, behavior modification method, game correction method, family supportive correction method, group training method, social therapy method, etc. have better efficacy and can be used flexibly according to the specific situation of young children. The “Kindergarten Education Guideline (for trial implementation)” especially emphasizes “paying attention to individual differences and promoting the development of each child’s personality”. The individual orientation of young children’s mental health is to develop a “healthy self”. However, due to the differences in individual development, the characteristics and speed of children’s psychological development also vary greatly, and they often show different personality tendencies. It is the responsibility of the kindergarten to guide parents to learn to pay attention to the process of the child’s personality-rich development, so that they know how to evaluate the child’s development. There are many ways to do this, for example, through “mommy (daddy) teachers,” “individual development files,” “child development records,” “parent schools,” etc. “We can encourage parents to actively participate in co-education at home to enhance the effectiveness of mental health education for young children. 2. Form an educational environment in which kindergarten, society and family are united Mental health education for young children is a systematic project that must achieve all-round openness, make extensive use of various educational resources inside and outside the garden, adopt various methods and means, combine and configure various elements organically, and build up a mental health education model in which kindergarten education is the main channel, family education is the basic link, and kindergarten and family, education and guidance, consultation and self-help In order to achieve better results, we can combine the mental health education model with kindergarten education as the main channel, family education as the basic link, kindergarten and family, education and guidance, consultation and self-help.
