How to improve student’s mental health

In recent years, there have been many reports about misbehaved students resort to violence. Such behavior has exerted negative impacts towards other students, families as well as the society in a whole. Therefore how to improve students’ mental health has always been a priority issue of our universities and society. To develop a student in a all-round way is the purpose of our quality-oriented education.

Firstly, parents as the first teacher in students’ life should play an important role. The parenting method as well as the whole family environment has a direct influence towards the students. Parents should not turn to “punishment” as a tool to teach their children. Instead, they should talk to them, find out the reasons behind a certain behavior and guide them through the difficulties. Parents should always be a good listener.

Secondly, teachers should be trained to help students in a comprehensive way. Teachers should not just emphasize on a student’s academic performance. Some students feel like they are being ignored by their teachers just because they are not performing well in the exams. Therefore as a responsible teacher, learning to treat each student fairly is of great importance.

Finally, it is our shared vision to build a secure and harmonious social environment for the next generation, the future of our nation.

　　What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother’s blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.

　　In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.

　　As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.
