Chen Xuefeng pointed out that the problems of students are often issues that everyone is very concerned about. Now the epidemic prevention and control has become normalized, and various regions are also orderly advancing the start of school resumption. Some students have relatively high psychological pressures during the resumption of school, and even have psychological problems. The reasons are different and there are usually three situations.
The first is the problem of psychological behavior adaptation in the process of returning to school. Secondly, after returning to school, you will face psychological pressure caused by objective problems such as entering a university or graduate employment. The third one may not be directly related to resumption of studies, further studies, graduation and employment. Some students may have certain problems in their own right. Resumption of studies is only an incentive and causes problems. The situation is different, the coping style is also different.
For the first case, Chen Xuefeng said that it is actually a common problem, that is, in the early stage of the epidemic, it is difficult for us to adapt to the lifestyle and learning style of home isolation and at home, online learning. After a period of adjustment and adaptation, now we have to again Adjustments, now school parents want to restore normalcy as soon as possible. For this situation, it is recommended not to worry, and do not expect children to adapt quickly as soon as they step into the school gate. It takes a period of time to adapt to new situations and new environments. Parents, teachers, and students should all have this psychological preparation, and more importantly, there must be behavioral changes.
In particular, schools should do a good job of campus prevention and control work in accordance with reality, and these prevention and control measures should be publicized to parents and students to reduce worries. In addition, parents and students also need to formulate a good learning plan, adjust their work schedules as soon as possible, adjust their learning methods and learning habits, and work through this adaptation period as soon as possible with the close cooperation of families and schools.
Chen Xuefeng analyzed that the second situation is actually psychological pressure caused by objective pressure. In the past year, when the graduation and employment season is over, parents and students will have greater psychological pressure and anxiety. This year, they will be more anxious because of the impact of the epidemic. This kind of psychological pressure is essentially caused by objective pressure, so the most important thing to deal with this psychological pressure is to solve the objective pressure. For example, we should actively pay attention to policies and information related to further education and employment, and should take active actions to find and create opportunities for ourselves. It is recommended that the most important decompression measures still be active actions to resolve objective pressure, and the most effective psychological support is mutual support between parents and children.
In the third case, it is likely that there is a problem already. In the process of returning to school, the pressure is superimposed, which causes the problem to break out. In the crowd, there are often a certain percentage of people who have various psychological problems. Even if there is no epidemic, there will be psychological problems. The pressure to adapt during the resumption of school is only an incentive. For these problems, parents, teachers and Children should analyze and judge, find out what is the cause of the problem, and be able to respond in a timely manner if the cause is accurate, and try to avoid delaying the intervention.
Chen Xuefeng emphasized that the student group is very different, and each child is different. Although facing the same stress situation, some people may adapt well, some may be difficult to adapt, and some children may feel during the adaptation process The pressure is relatively high, and there will be some physical reactions, which are manifested as physical discomfort, which is the physicalization of psychological problems. For these problems, parents and schools should pay close attention and timely intervention to help children solve problems.
Chen Xuefeng suggested that if the school already has some good resources for mental health education, it should be fully used. If conditions permit, or when necessary, it should also seek help from mental health service professional institutions, social institutions, and medical institutions. In short, it is necessary to intervene and solve problems in a timely manner, and try to avoid extreme incidents.
