Home learning during the epidemic
Psychological Counseling Guide for Teenagers
Affected by the epidemic, we have temporarily opened the online learning mode at home. The ever-changing COVID-19 epidemic has had a certain impact on students' daily study and life, but "schools should not be suspended, and epidemic prevention must be done with care." Today, we have prepared tips for teenagers to adjust their emotions while at home to help everyone feel at home, live healthily, and study happily.
01
Epidemic prevention and control
Acceptance of stress response
When we face threats, we will have a series of psychological stress reactions, commonly known as tension or pressure. Being sensitive to dangerous information and feeling anxious and fearful are actually understandable and normal reactions. We can try the following ways to self-regulate:
. Stay away from stressors
Avoid reading or discussing negative letters for a long time. Negative information will put us in a negative mood. Just learn about the necessary prevention and control measures and news bulletins through authoritative channels.
. Maintain good living habits
Maintain a good schedule, control the time spent on mobile phones, ensure adequate sleep time (elementary school students sleep 10 hours a day, junior high school students 9 hours, and high school students 8 hours). Appropriate physical exercise improves immunity, which is also helpful to relieve anxiety and improve mood.
. Express emotions reasonably
Use this rare time to chat more with your family, say what you want to say, and list the things you have always wanted to do but don’t have time to do on weekdays, such as cooking, learning musical instruments, painting, reading, raising plants, etc. Make a "wish list" that you can complete with your family.
02
Plan properly
Pay attention to healthy eyes
. Tailor-made study or life plan
Tailor-made study or life plan for yourself during home study, and strictly follow the plan. You can find the feeling of class through the online course schedule, setting the "start bell" and "end bell". You can also make an appointment with your classmates to study together, supervise each other, and make progress together. Adhere to to manage independently, and study at home with relaxation.
. Control the time you use electronic products.
Control the time you use electronic products. Learn to use your eyes healthily, use your brain scientifically, and ensure enough sleep. Excessive use of electronic products is harmful to the body and mind! You should also maintain good eye habits when studying, pay attention to adjusting the light when reading and writing, maintain the correct reading and writing posture of "one foot, one punch plus one inch", insist on doing eye exercises twice a day, and pay attention to healthy eye use.
03
take the initiative to understand
maintain a harmonious relationship
What should students do?
In the face of a sudden epidemic, the stress response belongs not only to children, but also to parents. Not only are parents unprepared in terms of schedule, but they are also unprepared psychologically. While dealing with work and life pressures, they also have to deal with various learning tasks for their children, which makes them feel stressed and anxious.
Emotions will affect each other. As students, we already have a certain amount of empathy and coordination abilities. If you can try to think from your parents' perspective, maybe your parents can understand your feelings more.
Take the initiative to do some housework within your ability
Students can take advantage of the opportunity of home epidemic prevention to communicate more with their parents, understand and support them, and enhance their relationship with their parents in a pleasant way. Take the initiative to do some housework within your ability, such as cleaning, tidying up the room, washing and cooking, etc., to improve your self-care ability and labor skills, and to assume your own family responsibilities, so that parents can reduce their burden.
04
Flexibly adjust
Accept stress response
. Make a plan and keep a good rhythm of life
Developing a structured schedule based on your actual life can make life more orderly. However, when making a plan, do not over-schedule tasks and remember to leave time to deal with emergencies.
. Combining work and rest keeps the brain full of energy
During the break, get up and exercise appropriately and eat something. Only by combining work and rest can the brain be in a state of efficient operation.
. Take the initiative to contact and actively obtain support and help.
When you encounter difficulties, send the problem to the teacher and ask the teacher for explanation, or call the teacher or classmates directly for help. Actively asking for help can not only bring you new learning ideas, but is also a way to obtain good social support.
. Maintain a sunny attitude
If you feel that you have been anxious, irritable or even fearful recently, or have some somatic reactions that are beyond your control, don't be afraid, let alone ignore it. You can proactively and promptly seek psychological support and professional help through online or offline methods, such as asking a psychologist or calling a psychological hotline.
