The physical and mental health of children not only requires physical health, but also psychological health, "said Ni Xin, director of the National Children's Medical Center and director of the Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University." It is very important for parents to popularize children's mental health knowledge and improve their ability to recognize children's mental health status. Experts suggest that the whole society should attach importance to children's mental health education and strengthen early intervention for children's mental illness.
What should be noted for families of children who have already developed psychological problems or even mental illnesses? Ni Xin introduced that the warmth and harmony of a family can play a crucial role in preventing and intervening in children's psychological diseases. Firstly, parents should receive regular training and guidance from professionals to learn and master knowledge and intervention skills related to children's mental health; Secondly, family members should maintain a harmonious family atmosphere and create a warm and safe family atmosphere for their children; Thirdly, parents should accept their children's emotions.
Experts call for the whole society to pay attention to children's mental health, explore the establishment of a family mental health service system, advocate for family mental health promotion, popularize knowledge, promote training, improve children's mental health literacy, and provide a healthy growth environment for children.
In recent years, China has taken a series of measures to continuously improve children's mental health education and strengthen early intervention. It is reported that in the next step, China will continue to accelerate the construction of talent teams, promote the construction of children's mental health system, including the establishment of an "integrated" linkage method from families, schools to medical institutions, and establish the concept that every parent is the first person responsible for children's health.
