does not go out for a long time, and study work can only be done online. In this living condition, the "psychological immunity" of some parents and children gradually declines, and symptoms such as anxiety, rebellion, low mood, loss of interest, and irritability appear.

In such a special period, we should pay more attention to the mental health of ourselves and our children! Parents are requested to check this "psychological prescription" ↓↓↓

Reasons for the decline of "psychological immunity"

Children's learning status at home is unstable, inattentive in online classes, poor self-control, emotionally unstable, resistant to parents, and have irregular lives. Some children may also be addicted to electronic products and online games.

Why do these problems occur

Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Pediatric Health, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical UniversityWei Hua: Staying at home for a long time is a change from the normal life style, disrupting the inherent state and rhythm of life. Therefore, in this case, parents have a lot of anxiety about their children's learning and living conditions. In addition to studying, children have less time to go out for activities and less time to interact with children of the same age, and they often feel bored. Therefore, both parents and children may be more prone to anxiety and irritability at this stage, and the parent-child relationship and family atmosphere will become more tense.

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dean of Peking University Sixth Hospital Lu Lin: In the face of the ongoing epidemic, it is normal for people to have emotions such as anxiety, uneasiness, and panic. Bad emotions mostly come from overreaction to negative information. With overreaction, emotions such as negativity, anxiety, and irritability are likely to arise.

7 "psychological prescriptions" to resolve bad emotions

During the epidemic prevention and control period, how should parents and children working and studying at home improve their "psychological immunity"? Let’s take a look at the recommendations of disease control experts:

. Keep your emotions stable

Avoid reading or discussing negative information for a long time. Please pay attention to self-regulation, change your thoughts, and adjust your behavior.

2. Maintain a healthy routine

Maintain a healthy sleep rhythm, go to bed early and get up early, don’t stay up late, don’t overuse electronic products, maintain a healthy diet, and pay attention to personal hygiene at home.

3. Keep exercising every day

Parents can take their children to choose an exercise method that suits them, and try to choose outdoor sports if conditions permit.

4. Maintain interpersonal support

Maintain active contact with family, friends, classmates, etc. who cannot meet in person through remote means, express concern for each other, and talk to family or friends when mood swings, which can provide emotional support to relatives and friends who are under great pressure.

Children are studying at home, what should parents do?

In fact, staying at home for a long time is a challenge for the whole family, but we must also look at the positive side: this is a rare parent-child time. Parents can use the opportunity of getting along day and night to discover the inner needs of their children. Finding the right method can make their children happy at home and shorten the distance between parents and children.

. Don’t be too child-centered.

Children’s education is certainly very important, but it is only a part of life and cannot replace all of life. Moreover, a good life itself has an educational function, such as allowing children to participate in labor within their capabilities. Children not only learn certain life skills, but also improve their sense of responsibility.

Adults have adult lives, and children have children's lives. A reasonable family life should suit everyone, not just some individuals. Children-centered families tend to put children's learning at the core and other aspects in a secondary position. They even unwisely ask children to "just do a good job in study and don't worry about other things." This kind of family life is not only detrimental to the family, but also detrimental to the children. Conflicts will naturally arise.

2. Reasonably arrange home life

Parents must do a good job in division of labor, reasonably arrange family life, maintain a good attitude, and form a positive, healthy and harmonious family atmosphere.

The living arrangements of the whole family should be synchronized as much as possible. Never let the children get up on time while the parents stay in bed, or let the children go to exercise but the parents are glued to their mobile phones every day. Minor children cannot arrange their lives entirely on their own and need help from their parents.

Children's life must be rich and comprehensive, and should be carried out in a focused manner based on conditions and children's interests. Parents should give priority to following the kindergarten's arrangements. Children can follow the study step by step as usual in class, and then arrange other learning content according to the teacher's suggestions.

3. Chat with your children more

Children are prone to various emotional problems when staying at home, which require timely communication to resolve. The prerequisite for communication is understanding, and parents must learn to understand their children.

Every child is a specific child. Parents must understand their children's behaviors, emotions and thoughts, especially their children's inner confusion.

Parents should learn to be a listener, chat more with their children, let them actively express their ideas, and exercise their children's ability to think independently. Whether communication with children is smooth is also a touchstone of parents' family education ability.

4. Pay more "shared attention" with your children

Although learning is important, it must also be integrated into life. Parents should think about how can make online class learning rich and three-dimensional with the help of the convenient environment at home.

Take watching a program as an example. Excellent programs are inspiring. If you can make good use of this leisure time, your children's learning will be even more powerful.

5. Reach a consensus with your children in advance

Frankly tell your children that as a parent, what will you do and how you will do it while your children are studying at home. Let children be mentally prepared and have expectations, so that every participation will not turn into a battle that is detrimental to family relationships.

There are still rules. It is recommended that parents reach the following consensus with their children in advance. For example, if children take online classes at home, parents can make the following requirements for their children:

① Life schedule, try to follow the normal school time rhythm.

② During online classes, do not carry your mobile phone with you.

③ During class, do not close the door (except when there is noise), do not move around, do not chat, and do not do anything unrelated to the class.

6. Parents should properly supervise

Practice has proved that supervised learning behavior is often more efficient. As a parent, it is necessary to perform the duties of observation, reminder, and feedback. When children study at home and lack a collective atmosphere, they will inevitably become distracted easily. Parents should do a good job of supervision.

Finally, I want to tell the children

that you are not alone when studying at home.

There is a group of people taking care of your health.

During the epidemic,

you keep a stable attitude and study with peace of mind.

are contributing to epidemic prevention!

Let us face it positively.
