Under the pressure of the epidemic, students may have various negative emotions such as anxiety, panic, anger, and irritability. This is a normal psychological reaction of human beings and a manifestation of the body's self-protection. The more suppressed and denied, the easier it is to be dominated by emotions. When faced with negative emotions, students do not need to be overly sensitive and nervous, nor do they need to deny their own feelings. Only by actively understanding and accepting the existence of negative emotions can they be better. to adjust.

3. Carry out indoor exercise activities to maintain good physical health.

Students can communicate more with their parents during this special period, and while fully expressing their feelings and needs, they can also actively understand and support their parents. Taking the initiative to do some housework within your ability, cleaning, tidying up the room, laundry, cooking, etc., not only improves your own self-care ability and labor skills, but also helps parents reduce the burden.

Psychological research shows that positive emotions can bring greater power to people. People who are actively involved will be just tired no matter how hard and tired they are physically, but mentally they are full of faith and strength. Therefore, people who are actively involved in epidemic prevention and take the initiative to do things will be more positive, optimistic and high-spirited.

(2) Learn to filter information and do personal self-protection.

When the information we obtain is insufficient and incomplete, or when we obtain some misguided and rumored information, our tension and anxiety will turn into panic and fear. Therefore, we must pay attention to the information released by authorities such as People’s Daily and CCTV, understand the scientific knowledge of COVID-19, learn the correct self-protection methods, clean and disinfect personal hygiene and household hygiene, and at the same time, reduce excessive attention to epidemic information. , reduce the misleading of unscientific information to oneself, and do not believe or spread rumors.

You are the master of your own life. Master the "Four Steps of Planning" and let a planned life help you gain a sense of control over your life.

Step 2: Arrange the time and duration of daily planning and fix it.

Step 3: Check the plan at least twice a day, and at the end of the day insist on checking in and recording your implementation. If you do well, you can give yourself a small flower or star.

Step 4: Focus on the planned start time rather than the deadline. As long as we start taking action, you will find that boredom and anxiety are effectively reduced, and your life becomes more fulfilling and enjoyable.

First of all, we must balance work and rest and arrange time reasonably. Some students have now left school and started studying and living at home, which means they have more time to control themselves. We can take advantage of this time to "overtake others around the corner." Therefore, students should make detailed plans at home, divide study time, rest time, and entertainment time, block interference from electronic products, and arrange daily life and study according to the schedule to give themselves more control over their lives. At the same time, students can also perform moderate physical exercises at home, such as rope skipping, sit-ups, aerobics, etc., to enhance their immunity.

Secondly, adjust your mentality and be the master of your emotions. During the current epidemic, a healthy attitude is a powerful force for self-protection. Positive psychological suggestions can help us eliminate negative emotions, get out of trouble, and make our lives more confident and sunny. In life, we will inevitably have negative emotions. We may be anxious, nervous, or feel empty and bored. We must be aware of our moods in time and express them by writing diaries, talking to others, etc., or relieve them by listening to music, doing exercises, etc. Allow yourself to have negative emotions without rejecting them or devaluing yourself.

Third, actively participate in online teaching and formulate home life and study plans. We are now at the beginning of the new semester, and most of the online teaching content at this time is focused on answering questions. Students should sort out their own questions according to the teacher's requirements, ask questions in a timely manner, seek help from the teacher, and maintain contact with their learning partners. In addition, the life and study plans formulated must not be formalistic, but should be implemented in real terms. It is recommended that students use days as units and make daily study and life plans based on their actual situation to avoid making too long a time limit, causing emergencies in the middle, and failing to implement the plan well. At the same time, the plan must be written on paper rather than in your heart, and people around you must supervise your implementation of actions. When the plan is implemented, remember to give yourself a small reward! When things are not completed on time, time should be found to make amends.

4. Mental health education for primary school students during the epidemic

The outbreak of the epidemic not only threatens the public’s physical health, but also affects people’s mental health. Promptly strengthening psychological counseling and providing humanistic care are important parts of winning the battle against the epidemic.

In the face of the epidemic, a positive and optimistic mood and a healthy and upbeat attitude are also a strong immunity. The epidemic is a major situation, and staying at home is a last resort. This is a situation that individuals cannot control. In this case, we should proactively adjust our mentality towards the epidemic and staying at home, and reduce meaningless accusations and complaints.

Psychological research points out that emotions are functional. Emotions are a subjective experience or reflection that satisfy people's needs. The emotions themselves usually carry some information. For example, when we feel bored, "bored" It is to remind us to do something meaningful and valuable; when we feel unhappy, "unhappy" is to remind us that we need to find or cultivate some interests and do some happy things. Therefore, emotions themselves are not absolutely good or bad. It depends on whether we can correctly understand the information conveyed by emotions.

School is postponed, how will children sleep at home:

Parents and children should discuss and formulate life and study plans during this period on the basis of mutual respect and understanding.

First, parents and children should discuss and formulate life and study plans during this period based on mutual respect and understanding.

Second, the life plan should include entertainment and housework, which are things that can be done with the children, especially if the parents go to work late or stay at home for a long time and have time to accompany their children. It is a rare opportunity to enhance mutual understanding between parents and children.

Third, the study plan must be based on the school’s requirements and be conducted through online education such as online classes. You should listen to the lectures and do your homework carefully as you usually do when you go to school.

Fourth, parents’ emotions are very important. Try not to be too anxious, don’t be too anxious, and keep your emotions stable. For children who have been greatly affected by the epidemic, the emotional stability of their parents is very important, and has a great impact on the children's mental state. For adolescent and newly adult children, their needs for independence and solitude should be respected, with more discussion and less control.

The raging epidemic has brought us not only disaster and pain, but also made us "cherish life and pay attention to health; learn to be alone and enhance family ties; be aware of safety and assume responsibility; harmonize ecology and respect nature. "With more understanding in other aspects, we must firmly believe that "misfortune is only temporary and everything will get better", grow in crisis, become stronger in heart, and love life more and more. Let us work together to use scientific epidemic prevention methods, stable emotions and a healthy mentality to face the situation positively and overcome the difficulties.
