(Reporter Yang Chuanzhi Correspondent Zhang Wenyu) Early childhood is a critical period for children's physiological and psychological development, and they have weak adaptability to environmental changes. Therefore, during the epidemic prevention and home period, parents should not only pay attention to their children's physical health, but also pay attention to their children's mental health. Below we will provide parents with some children's mental health knowledge, and jointly educate and protect children's mental health and promote children's happy and healthy growth.

(II) Guide to children's mental health adjustment
. Family life education
Life education
Life education that perceives life, respects life, and fears life allows children to feel multi-directional care in a subtle way, so as to appreciate the value of life, understand love and respect, and the correct way to communicate emotions.
(I) Security education
Doing a good job of safety education is responsible for life itself. Carrying safety education for children in families not only requires teaching children to understand common sense of safe life, but also requires enhancing their children's emergency response skills and measures for various emergencies, so that they can understand effective ways to protect their own and others' personal safety.
(II) Frustration Education
In children's life education, a very important point is to cultivate children's ability to resist frustration. Only children with strong ability to resist setbacks are truly capable of paying attention and cherishing their lives. Among them, it is also important to improve children's ability to deal with emotions. Reasonable venting can reduce children's psychological burden. Looking at problems from a different perspective can help children actively deal with problems.
(III) Life education
Life education has two aspects. One is life education. Parents should guide their children to establish a correct view of life , and know how to cherish life, appreciate life, respect life and fulfill life. On the other hand, parents should also provide a certain amount of death education for their children, so that their children can realize that death is a part of life and a stage. It is precisely because everyone will die that each of us should cherish life and realize the value and meaning of life.
(IV) Ecological education
Ecological education is also an important part of family life education. Human life cannot exist alone. It exists in the world with everything. People must learn to coexist with other lives. Parents should educate their children to care for animals and protect the environment, and jointly maintain the harmony of the natural ecology; at the same time, they should also educate their children to learn how to get along with others and learn to respect and care for vulnerable groups.
