A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Preschoolers’Physical and Mental Health Promotion from the Perspective of Home-Preschool Synergistic Education

Abstract

physical and mental health issues among adolescents and children continue to exhibit a younger trend. From the perspective of home-preschool co-education, this study adopts a questionnaire survey (involving 238 parents and 207 teachers in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China) and interview method, combined with SPSS data analysis, to investigate the current status of physical and mental health education for preschool children.The results show that: parents actively pay attention to children’s physical health but have low participation, lack systematic professionalism in resource acquisition, and their attention to physical health is roughly equal to that to mental health; preschools are equipped with relatively abundant mental health resources and competent teachers, yet have insufficient resources for physical health education; while home-preschool co-education takes diverse forms, in-depth collaboration between the two parties is lacking. Family economic status, parental attitudes, and exercise habits influence physical health education, whereas parental educational background, family income, and children’s gender affect mental health education.Accordingly, this study proposes the following recommendations: the state should improve policy resources; parents should enhance their participation awareness; preschools should strengthen teacher training and home-preschool cooperation; teachers should improve their professional literacy; and home and preschool should establish effective communication mechanisms.
