Abstract

I have a set of very simple questions which are pondered by most of us, almost daily: I do not feel like studying. What should I do? I am not good at memorizing theory. How do I enhance my memorizing skills? I am short-tempered. How do I manage anger? I constantly feel like smoking. How do I deal with this craving? I am feeling low today. What should I do? The science of psychology can answer all these questions. But surprisingly, we are never taught psychology as a mandatory science. The World Health Organization has defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Today's curriculum gives more stress on physical well-being and, contrastingly, very less stress on mental well-being. The question arises “should psychology not be taught in elementary school curriculum?” Of course it should be!

小学教育缺少心理学!心理上惊人的顿悟!
我有一组非常简单的问题,我们大多数人几乎每天都在思考这些问题:我不想学习。我该怎么办?我不擅长记忆理论。如何提高我的记忆能力?我脾气暴躁。我该如何控制愤怒?我总想抽烟。我该如何应对这种渴望?我今天心情不好。我该怎么办?心理学可以回答所有这些问题。但令人惊讶的是,我们从来没有被教授心理学作为一门强制性的科学。世界卫生组织将健康定义为"一种身体、精神和社会完全健康的状态,而不仅仅是没有疾病或虚弱"。今天的课程更加强调身体健康,相反,很少强调心理健康。问题来了"小学课程中不应该教授心理学吗? "当然应该!
