In the journey of youth, every step is in the rhythm of change. On May 6th, Professor Peng Ziwen, a psychology expert from South China Normal University, was invited to Shangbu Middle School and brought a unique special lecture to the teachers. With his solid academic foundation and vivid explanations, Professor Peng revealed the mysteries of brain science behind the unique psychology of adolescence.
1. Psychological characteristics of adolescence
Adolescence is the most splendid and complex chapter in life. At this stage, the consciousness of independence and self-consciousness is like the rising sun, which becomes stronger and stronger; Emotions are like the unpredictable weather in spring, sometimes clear skies, sometimes stormy. The desire for relationships is intertwined, just as the adolescent mind is searching for self-orientation and harmonious coexistence with others.
2. Brain development during adolescence
Behind all this is the natural law of brain development. The development of the prefrontal lobe is not yet complete, which is the biological root of impulsiveness and addiction in adolescent children, and the neural basis for their recklessness and lack of self-control. The maturity of the limbic system is the material basis for their emotional change, allowing them to sail in the ocean of emotions, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent.
3. Intervention strategies
So, how do we navigate these challenges? Professor Pang Ziwen will provide scientific intervention strategies. The role of parents should change from "controller" to "coach", replacing command and control with understanding and support. Teachers should ensure that they have time to communicate with their children, and do not change their minds easily, so that communication can become a bridge between the hearts and minds. The time spent together should be fun, so that education is not only the transfer of knowledge, but also the exchange of emotions.
The atmosphere of the lecture was enthusiastic, and the teachers expressed that they were deeply inspired. Professor Peng's lively and interesting explanation made the complex brain science knowledge easy to understand, which benefited everyone in the room. After the lecture, many teachers said that the lecture provided them with valuable psychoeducational resources, enhanced their understanding of the psychology of adolescent students, learned scientific methods on how to deal with and solve adolescent psychological problems, and improved their attention and coping ability to adolescent psychological problems. Under the guidance and inspiration of Professor Peng Ziwen, Shangbu Middle School will pay more attention to the mental health education of adolescent students, establish a positive teacher-student relationship and parent-child relationship, and provide more powerful support for their healthy growth.
