万双网讯   在“蝴蝶拍”中寻找心灵的宁静，用成长型思维，乐观面对挫折。1月15日至21日，万科双语学校开展了2021年寒假“树立成长型思维，应对挫折”专题讲座。全体小学生分六批在学校剧场聆听杨帆校长和郑佳佳老师的演讲，初中生在教室与郑佳佳老师进行了深入交流。

VBS News Net: VBS held 2021 winter holiday special lectures 'face setbacks with growth mindset' from 15th January to 21st January to all primary school students to find their inner peace and remain optimistic when setbacks come with butterfly pat. Students were divided into six batches to arrive at theatre for the speeches given by Principal Yang and Ms. Zheng. Junior secondary school students discussed the topic with Ms. Zheng at their classrooms.

讲座伊始，郑佳佳老师让同学们双手放在胸前，闭上眼睛，做一下“蝴蝶拍”。同学们纷纷表示，做完后感觉心情十分舒畅。

At the beginning of the lecture, Ms. Zheng asked students to put their hands in front of their chests to do the butterfly pat. This allowed students to feel calmed.

活动中，孩子们写下了自己的压力分数，分享压力来源。有的孩子表示没有压力，有的孩子表示压力巨大，他们担心考试成绩不好，假期作业多，补课压力大，家长的责骂等等。

Students also wrote down their stress scores to share their sources of stree. Some said they had no pressure but others worried about their test scores, too much holiday assignments or tuiton, or even scolding from their parents.

郑佳佳老师让孩子们学会如何给自己减压，如何主动寻求帮助，并介绍了心理求助渠道，公布了深圳市中小学生心理援助热线。

Ms. Zheng taught them how to relieve stress and seek assistance by introducing mental health assistance hotlines.

杨帆校长用形象生动的大脑组织图告诉孩子们，脑科学的研究表明，大脑由神经元细胞网络构成，当我们学习新东西，神经元细胞便会彼此产生关联；当我们反复练习，这些神经细胞关联变得越来越强大，大脑也变得更加稠密。因此，每个人都是很聪明的，只要我们相信自己，反复练习，都可以取得很好的成绩。这就是成长型思维。所以当父母问到考试成绩的时候，孩子们可以会这样回答，我下次努力，一定能考好。

Principal Yang told students about the brain structure with vivid pictures - research had shown that neurons in the neural network of our brains would connect with one another once we learned something new. Repetitive practice would make neuron connections stronger. Hence everyone could be wise and get good results if we believe in ourselves and practise a lot. This would be the growth mindset. Hence students could tell parents that they could score better next time when being asked about test scores.

经过杨校长和郑老师的详细讲解，孩子们纷纷表示压力小了很多。有的同学表示，遇到压力可以靠自己，努力去解决。有的表示可以寻找老师、班主任、心理老师的帮助。初中的同学表示，失败了，继续努力，调整好自己的心态。

After this lecture, students knew what to do to cope with stress and felt better. Some would solve the problems and face the pressure themselves and others said would seek help from teachers and counsellors.

万科双语学校致力于以成长型思维构建学习型学校，以终身成长为核心价值观，学生通过《人生规划》必修课为主线的课程学习和参与丰富多彩的活动，教师通过“万科双语学校教师职业发展学院”学习，家长通过“万科双语学校家长成长学院”学习，实现共同成长。本次心理健康教育讲座，对于涵养孩子健全的人格、卓越的学力以及学会用积极乐观的成长型思维应对挫折和压力具有深远意义。
