神奇的“烦恼箱”

The Importance of Mental Health

可以肯定地说，去年整个世界发生了天翻地覆的变化，我们的生活也随之发生了变化。我们对威雅孩子的适应力感到非常惊讶，因为他们对待长期的居家隔离比许多成年人表现地更成熟、更从容。但是，无论人们如何应对大流行及其困境，学会谈论自己的感受和处理自己的情绪仍然是非常重要的。在海龟班，心理健康这个话题是从艺术课上延展开的。我们已经认识并学习了梵高，尽管他的画作美丽而充满希望，但他却过着非常困苦坎坷的生活。随着我们对他的了解越来越多，班上的学生对他也愈加感兴趣，为什么他会有如此麻烦的生活以及糟糕的心理健康状况呢？虽然对于小小年纪的他们来说，很难理解为什么有人会如此悲伤到癫狂的地步，但通过研究他们的兴趣点，我认为运用对孩子来说友好且适当的方式解决他们情绪问题至关重要。

It is safe to say that last year, the whole world turned upside down and our lives did along with it. I know that the staff have been truly amazed at the resilience of our children as they took their long lockdown in their stride and dealt with is far more maturely and easily than many adults! However, regardless of how one reacts to a pandemic and its difficulties, it is still so important that we learn to talk about our feelings and work through our emotions. In Turtle class, the topic of mental health has arisen from our Art lessons. We have been learning about Van Gogh who, despite his beautiful and hopeful paintings, led a very sad and troubled life. As we learnt more about him, the class were interested in why he had such a troubled life and what ‘poor mental health’ meant. At such a young age it is hard to understand why someone could be so sad to a point of madness and through their interest I felt it was important to address this in a child friendly and appropriate manner.

我认为，自从疫情大流行以来，我们每个人可能都经历过精神健康问题。可能是焦虑、沮丧、悲伤或类似的情况，尽管我们自己并不一定意识到它的存在。当认识到这是一个普遍现象，我们并不孤单后，我们会感觉到更有力量，更容易被治愈。尽管我们开始更多地讨论心理健康，但要让心理健康这个话题真正成为一种没有污名和恐惧的事物，还有很长的路要走。由于孩子们的兴趣以及班上一些紧张情绪的蔓延（在忙碌的学年末，我们时常会感到疲倦），我们认为有一个情绪宣泄的出口是非常重要的。

I think it is possible that since the pandemic , even without knowing, every one of us has experienced a mental health issue, possibly anxiety, frustration, sadness or similar. Knowing we are not alone in these feelings can be so empowering and healing. Whilst we are beginning to discuss mental health more, it still has a long way to go to becoming something that is not met with such stigma and fear. As a result of the children’s interest and some tensions creeping into the class (this always happens when we are tired at the end of a busy year) we decided it was important we had an outlet to share our feelings through.

我们引进了“烦恼箱”。这个箱子被班里的一些女孩子装饰得很漂亮（是梵高风格的！）。“烦恼箱”被放在了教室的前面，以便学生们随取随用。孩子们可以共用名字或者匿名写下自己想讨论的任何想法或忧虑，投进“烦恼箱”。我们每周一会打开箱子，一起尝试着来解决这些问题。除此之外，我们会表扬提出问题的学生。给予赞美能让施与受每个人都快乐。我们永远都不知道其他人心里真正在想些什么，所以我们总是试图做出善良的选择。

We have introduced our‘Worry box’. The box has been decorated beautifully (in a Van Gogh style!) by some of the girls in the class and placed at the front of the class so it can be used whenever they need it. The children were told that they can write down any feelings or worries they might want to discuss and we will open the box on Monday and try to fix these problems together. The children have been told they can share their name or write anonymously. In addition to this, they can also give a compliment. Giving compliments can make everyone happy, those giving and receiving, and you never know what someone is feeling so we always try to make the choice to be kind.

“烦恼箱”的设立是一种非常成熟的情绪处理方式。我认为它将建立一种友善、关怀的班级环境，这将帮助我们度过愉快的一年！海龟班的学生们，好样的！

The class has taken a mature approach to the Worry box and I feel it will develop a kind, caring class environment that will take us through to a happy end of the year! Great work Turtles!
