1. Principles for cultivating mental health education in early childhood
1. Being loved and a sense of value: Children need the love of their parents, being loved makes children feel safe and value. When parents show love to their children, in addition to allowing their children to experience the satisfaction of being loved, they also let their children know what they are loved, thus learning the concept of right and wrong.
2. Sense of security: A person who is insecure cannot trust others. If he does not trust others, he will not be able to establish friendship with others, which may make him a stubborn person. If a child lacks sense of security and self-confidence, he will not dare to explore the surrounding environment freely and learn new things, and his emotional and intelligent development will also be adversely affected. 3. Rules: It is like the wall of a house for children, which gives life a boundary and breadth. Only when a child knows what is to be expected can he feel comfortable and at ease. Therefore, rules are the source of security, and the establishment of rules provides children with a sense of order of free growth.
4. New learning experience: From birth, children must have learning opportunities that fit their abilities to learn new experiences in order to develop normal intelligence, language, interpersonal skills, emotional feelings, expression skills and personality. 2.

2. The main factors affecting the mental health of young children
1. Motivation: Children constantly generate needs and meet needs during activities, but they also suffer from frustration. Therefore, children should have a certain degree of psychological tolerance and simple skills to deal with motivation conflicts to coordinate the contrast between motivation needs and reality and maintain a balanced mentality.
2. Self-awareness: Although children's self-awareness is immature and unstable, it has a great impact on their personality development and behavioral adaptation. Children usually understand themselves, evaluate themselves, regulate their behavior and emotions through their success or failure in games and communication through their evaluation and attitudes of adults, through comparison with their peers, and through success or failure in games and communication. Children with weak self-awareness lack predictive and handling skills for frustration and conflict, which often leads to emotional and behavioral disorders such as willful, aggressive behavior, and withdrawal behavior. Therefore, we should strengthen the cultivation of self-awareness and protect the mental health of young children.
3. Emotions: Anxiety and fear have a negative effect on children's mental health. Anxiety makes children doubt their abilities, exaggerate their failures, and are often in tension and uneasiness. Fear will cause severe physiological and psychological changes in young children, and excessive anxiety will seriously damage the mental health of young children.
3. What issues should parents pay attention to in children's mental health education ?
1. Not overly caring for children: excessive care can easily make children overly self-centered, believing that everyone should respect him, and as a result, they become arrogant people.
2. Don’t bribe your children: Let your children know the relationship between rights and obligations from an early age. If they do not fulfill their obligations, they cannot enjoy rights.
3. Don’t be too close to your children: Children should be encouraged to live, study and play with people of the same age, so that they can learn how to get along with others.
4. Don’t force your children to do something that they are not competent: their self-confidence is mostly caused by success in doing things. Forcing them to do things that they cannot reach will only hurt their self-confidence.
5. Don’t be too strict, demanding or even beating and scolding children: beating and scolding will cause children to develop unhealthy mentalities such as timidity and escape, and even lead to abnormal behaviors such as resistance, cruelty, lying and running away from home.
6. Don’t deceive or intimidate children: scaring children will lose the authority of parents in the minds of children. If you have any warnings in the future, the children will not convince others.
7. Don’t criticize children in public: Don’t criticize or laugh at children in public in front of your friends. This will cause children to be resentful and shy, which will greatly damage their self-esteem.
8. Don’t over-praise your child: your child has achieved achievements in doing things, just give a thumbs up. Excessive praise will cause your child to be infected with the bad mentality of seeking fame and reputation.
9. Don’t be moody about your children: this will make your children sensitive, suspicious, emotionally unstable, and timid.
10. We should help children analyze their environment: help children solve their difficulties, rather than solve them on their behalf. Children should be taught how to analyze and solve problems.
