Palpitation, insomnia, poor spirits, poor appetite, headache and dizziness … … At the beginning of the new school year, many children have various physical and emotional problems. Why do you have anxiety about starting school? How should parents face their children correctly? Experts from relevant hospitals and primary and secondary schools jointly prescribed prescriptions.

　　The academic performance is not ideal.

　　It is prone to school-starting syndrome.

　　A few days ago, a girl who was about to enter the sixth grade suddenly appeared dizziness, headache and poor sleep. This can make parents anxious enough to take their children to the hospital for a series of examinations, and found no physical problems. So, parents took their children to the psychology department of Tiantan Hospital. Zhang Ning, the chief physician in charge of the psychology department, asked patiently and found that the children’s grades in school were not ideal at ordinary times, and the school was about to start, so the children began to have resistance in their hearts.

　　"This girl’s situation is typical ‘ Schooling syndrome ’ . Generally speaking, children with unsatisfactory academic performance are more likely to have these symptoms. " Zhang Ning said that during the period before the start of school, many children with "school-opening syndrome" were treated in the psychological clinic, accounting for about 20% of the outpatient visits, especially the senior middle school students. Most of the children are adjustment disorder, whose specific manifestations are: headache, dizziness, poor sleep, and some children will have diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms; Individual children may even have inexplicable persistent low-grade fever.

　　Zhang Ning introduced that in addition to children with unsatisfactory grades, some children relax themselves too much during the holidays, playing games almost every day, staying up late and getting up late, and their life patterns are disordered. As school begins, such children will feel very uncomfortable. Other children didn’t finish their homework on time during the holidays because they didn’t plan their study and life. They all pointed to a temporary surprise attack before school started. Children stay up late every day to brush their homework, which will naturally lead to various uncomfortable symptoms.

　　Li Chunhua, a doctor of psychology at Beijing Normal University and a psychological teacher at Beijing No.12 Middle School, recently introduced that junior high school students are usually more anxious at the beginning of school when they are visiting Beijing City Radio Education Face to Face. At this time, students are in the early adolescence, which is a period when the imbalance between physical and mental development is more prominent, which is prone to psychological adaptation problems. In addition, children who enter the graduating class at the beginning of school, and children who are facing changes in the academic period in the new junior high school and the new senior high school are usually more anxious. She said that it is normal to have anxiety at the beginning of the new semester. This is the body’s stress response to pressure and an adaptive emotion. However, if you are too anxious, you need to make some adjustments to resolve it.

　　Parents’ expectations are too high.

　　Lead to psychological problems of students.

　　Take away your mobile phone in advance, don’t play games, don’t watch TV, and "nag" about the wheel war … … In order to get children to study as soon as possible, many parents began to implement "means" early. Some parents who are too anxious have also become negative "catalysts" that lead to "school-starting syndrome" in their children.

　　Zhang Ning visited a mother and daughter a few days ago, and her daughter is about to enter the third grade. Recently, she has been suffering from insomnia, inattention and other symptoms. "She is always absent-minded in class … …” The mother, who is in menopause, looks sad when she mentions her child and keeps nagging in front of the doctor. "When it comes to letting her read books and collect her heart, the child looks annoyed and shuts himself in the house … …”

　　"Most anxious parents are mothers, and their main problem is fear of the unknown." Zhang Ning said that this mother is very concerned about her children’s study, and some are too perfectionist. It is precisely because of the mother’s high expectations for her children and anxiety about the unknown new semester that the children have psychological problems.

　　In addition, there are "over-worried" parents who will always worry about whether their children can adapt to the pace of learning when they start school, such as eating well at school and getting along well with their classmates. Parents who are "too competitive" pay too much attention to their children’s academic performance, fearing that poor adaptation at the beginning of school will affect their children’s performance and link their performance with their children’s future life, which will lead to excessive anxiety.

　　Li Chunhua said that as a parent, it is necessary to understand that a child is an independent individual. Growth is first and foremost a child’s own business, and parents should give their children full autonomy; You can discuss and remind your child’s affairs, but you can’t cross the border to manipulate them. Zhang Ning suggested that at the beginning of the school term, parents usually hold parent-teacher conferences, so that parents can take the initiative to communicate with their children’s head teachers and classroom teachers. In this way, teachers can not only learn more about their children, but also master their performance during school in communication, so as to better help children adapt to school life as soon as possible and relieve their anxiety.

　　Process of adapting to environmental needs

　　Parents should learn to listen by transposition.

　　"adjustment disorder can adjust slowly, most children can get better gradually, and only a few children may not be able to adjust in a short time." Zhang Ning said, generally speaking, primary school students’ schoolwork pressure is not great, and it usually takes two weeks to a month to get used to it. Schools generally have mental and psychological teachers who will also help children to make psychological adjustments. However, if the child has symptoms such as dizziness, headache, inattention and poor sleep, it has not improved for one month; Or if the child suddenly has a significant decline in academic performance, does not like to talk, and is easily irritated after school starts, then parents need to take their children to the psychological department of the hospital for detailed examination.

　　Zhang Ning reminded parents that even adults need a process of adaptation in the new environment, so parents should trust their children, talk less and preach less, and give them a relaxed environment to adapt. In addition, parents need to pay special attention to their children’s sleep status before school starts, help their children adjust their schedules in time, ensure the quality of sleep, and adapt to the upcoming campus life as soon as possible; Parents can also take the initiative to talk to their children about the plans for the new semester, remind them to buy some learning tools that may be used in the new semester, or encourage them to contact their classmates more.

　　Li Chunhua specially reminded parents to learn to listen when communicating with their children. "When parents stand in the child’s position and feel the child’s feelings with their heart, it is easy to understand why they are anxious, what kind of internal needs and expectations are hidden behind anxiety." After school starts, parents should also chat with their children as often as possible when they return home. She suggested that the topic of communication should be as broad as possible, instead of always focusing on learning and grades. In the eyes of many children, learning and grades are "topic terminators". It is easy to chat and die. Parents can ask their children, "Did anything new happen in class today?" "Do you have anything happy today?" "Is there anything I can do for my parents?" … … This kind of topic is highly open, and it is easy for children to pick up the words, and it will not cause defensive psychology.

　　Help children live reasonably.

　　Do a good job in health management after school starts.

　　Zeng Xiaoyu, director of the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that after the start of school, students are prone to resistance in the face of the adjustment of work and rest, the change of relaxation state and the increase of learning tasks. He reminded parents to help their children arrange their daily lives reasonably, create a quiet and tidy environment conducive to learning, prepare lighting, desks and chairs that are conducive to protecting their eyesight, urge and work with their children to maintain good study and life rules, and create a relaxed learning atmosphere for their children, help them adjust and gradually enter the learning state after school starts.

　　Parents should ensure a reasonable diet structure, a variety of foods, no partial food picky eaters, mainly cereals, ensure adequate intake of high-quality protein, and provide enough energy for study and life. Eat more fruits and vegetables, try to eat lightly, drink plenty of water, and stay away from sugary drinks to avoid discomfort caused by changes in work and rest.

　　At the same time, we should actively participate in physical exercise and outdoor activities, participate in moderate-intensity physical activities more than three times a week, develop a good lifestyle, do not stay up late, eat less sugar, and be picky about food, and consciously reduce the use of electronic products. The use of electronic products for non-learning purposes should not exceed 15 minutes at a time, and the cumulative time should not exceed 1 hour every day. After studying with electronic products for 30 to 40 minutes, you should take a rest and relax for 10 minutes. The younger you are, the shorter the continuous use of electronic products should be.

　　It is worth noting that, according to the current immunization procedures in Beijing, parents of students who are newly enrolled in kindergartens, freshmen in primary schools, freshmen in middle schools and transfer from other primary schools and junior high schools must bring their children’s vaccination certificates to kindergartens and schools for registration. Nursery institutions and schools will have a special person to check the vaccination certificate. If there are any missed seeds, they will send a written notice to parents in time. After receiving the notice, parents should lead their children to the designated vaccination clinic as soon as possible as required. (Reporter Jia Xiaohong, Liu Huan, Niu Weikun)
