When school started to encounter the epidemic, many children and adolescents had to "stay" at home. In addition to completing homework and reviewing homework, most of the rest of the time was accompanied by electronic products. This can easily cause adverse effects on children's mental health. So, for children, how can they enhance their psychological "immunity" during the epidemic?
01 Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Do personal hygiene
During the epidemic, follow the principles of less going out, wearing a mask, and washing hands frequently to keep your personal and home clean. It is necessary to maintain a regular schedule, ensure sleep time, a reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, and enhance your immunity and antiviral ability.
02 Facing emotional changes calmly
Understand and accept negative emotions
Under the pressure of the epidemic, children may experience various negative emotions such as anxiety, panic, anger and irritability. This is the normal psychological response of a person to a stressful event and a manifestation of the body's self-protection. The more suppressed and denied, the easier it is to be dominated by emotions. In the face of negative emotions, children should not be overly sensitive and nervous, nor should they deny their feelings. Only by actively understanding and accepting the existence of negative emotions can we better regulate emotions.
03 Look at epidemic prevention and control scientifically
Learn how to adjust emotions
Learn about epidemic prevention information, relevant scientific knowledge, and epidemic prevention and control measures through official channels, and actively cooperate with epidemic prevention and control work, so as not to believe in rumors. Do not spread rumors. Learn some simple psychological adjustment methods, such as "deep breathing relaxation method" and "muscle relaxation method" to maintain emotional stability. You can also use exercise, music, and talk to divert attention and increase positive experience.
04 Carry out exercises
Maintain good physical condition
Combine your own interests and living conditions,Choose your own way of activity, and carry out about 1 hour of exercise every day, such as push-ups on the mat, sit-ups, planks, aerobics, hula hoop, and shuttlecock kicks. Appropriate exercise can not only eliminate fatigue and increase the blood oxygen content in the brain, but also promote brain activity, which is both fitness and heart-pleasing.
05 Close interaction between relatives and friends
to isolate and not be separated
At home, you can use online communication platforms such as telephone, SMS, WeChat to communicate with classmates and keep in touch with relatives and friends. Mutual encouragement and support can not only alleviate loneliness, but also increase confidence in fighting the epidemic and enhance friendship.
06 Cultivate new interests and hobbies
enriches life
Children can list things they always want to do but don’t have time to do, such as cooking, learning musical instruments, painting , Reading, planting, etc., make a "wish list", tick out the wishes that can be achieved at home according to the priority, and cultivate healthy hobbies. According to the recommendation of parents and teachers, you can choose the extracurricular reading materials, video resources, TV programs, etc. that suit you, and use the online platform to swim in the ocean of knowledge, making the vacation at home a good time to store knowledge.
07 Control the use time of electronic products
to be reasonable and reasonable
Under the guidance of parents, children can use mobile phones and other electronic products appropriately, but the use time should not be too long or affect normal Work and rest. You can determine with your parents the time and length of time that both parties use mobile phones and the Internet every day, and jointly abide by the rules you set, starting from every day.
