Each person's body is a book, recording silent stories. Before we realize a disease is present, the body often silently sends out signals, trying to convey unusual information. These signals may be so subtle as to be imperceptible, but they are crucial indicators of life and health. If we can recognize and interpret these "SOS signals" in time, we may be able to prevent or even save a life. The human body sends us warnings through various signals in daily life. Understanding how to recognize these signals and taking timely measures when abnormalities occur can often prevent the condition from worsening and even save lives. Not all bodily signals are equivalent to serious illnesses, but they reflect that certain systems in the body are triggering protective mechanisms, giving us a reason to pay attention.

Childhood experiences are not the sole determinant of an individual's mental health in adulthood. It's important to note that childhood experiences are not the only factor determining an individual's mental health in adulthood. An individual's mental health is also influenced by a combination of factors, including genetics, personality traits, social environment, and personal experiences. If you have mental health issues, it is recommended to consult a professional mental health counselor or psychologist for more specific and personalized support and advice. Many studies have shown that the roots of mental health problems can be traced back to an individual's childhood experiences, which may lead to psychological distress in adulthood.

Adolescence is a crucial stage of physical and psychological development, and a golden period for shaping healthy lifestyle habits. Physical education is an extremely important part of this process. We emphasize physical education during adolescence because it's not just about getting teenagers involved in sports activities; it's about cultivating healthy behaviors, improving physical fitness, and, more importantly, shaping a positive social personality through active participation.

In this stressful and ever-changing era, mental health issues seem to be a major challenge for many. The development of mental health issues is often related to multiple factors, including stressful events (such as sudden heartbreak), emotional and cognitive patterns (such as perfectionism), social environmental influences (such as a lack of effective interpersonal support), and physiological and genetic factors (such as a family history of mental disorders). When an individual experiences a mental health issue (rather than just undiagnosed psychological distress), it signifies significant psychological distress or severe impairment in social functioning. At this point, individuals often lack the ability to manage their own mental health, and due to the combined effects of multiple factors, self-management alone is often insufficient.

We all know our bodies have the ability to warn us in advance. For example, if you suddenly feel intense soreness, numbness, and discomfort in your left arm, it could also be a sign of heart problems. If you easily experience leg cramps at night, some people think it's just growing pains, but it could indicate a liver problem. Then, if you have kidney problems, or if you can't speak in the morning due to hoarseness, or if someone has a headache on one side—a migraine—that's a sign of spleen and stomach issues.

Understanding your own body is a long-term, patient, and daily lesson. It's not just about seeking medical help when you're sick, but about learning to listen to your body's signals in the quiet moments of daily life, using your eyes, ears, and senses. True bodily wisdom isn't about complex medical jargon, but about translating the body's language into understandable and actionable daily practices. You can start by understanding the body's basic structure, and then integrate observation, recording, and adjustment into your daily life.

Physical development refers to the physiological structural and functional changes that occur in an individual with age, including normal physical development and increased physical fitness. It is characterized by both heritability and stages. The process follows the principles of cephalocaudal and proximal growth, experiencing two accelerated phases: the fetal period, infancy, a stable period, and puberty. The growth period is longer for males than for females. The various systems of the body exhibit asynchronous development: the brain and nervous system reach 90% of adult brain weight by age 5; the reproductive system begins maturation during puberty; and the lymphatic system reaches its peak development at age 10 and then declines. Skeletal and muscular development follows a "distal priority, limbs before trunk" growth sequence. There are sensitive periods for physical fitness development; for example, strength development is most rapid for males between 12-16 years old and for females between 7-12 years old. Sleep quality, nutritional intake (such as the synergistic effect of calcium, magnesium, and zinc), and exercise intervention can affect growth hormone secretion and bone development. This developmental process is influenced by genetics, the intrauterine environment, and postnatal factors. Contemporary children's physical development shows an accelerated trend, with puberty starting earlier than in previous generations.

Mental disorders refer to various abnormal psychological processes, abnormal personality traits, and abnormal behavioral patterns caused by physiological, psychological, or social reasons. They manifest as an inability to act in a socially acceptable manner, resulting in consequences that are maladaptive to both the individual and society. When the degree of abnormality in mental activity reaches the medical diagnostic criteria, it is termed a mental disorder. Mental disorders emphasize the clinical manifestations or symptoms of such psychological abnormalities, not treating them as diseases. Furthermore, using the term "mental disorder" is more readily accepted and can reduce social stigma. The formation of mental disorders is the result of the dynamic interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors. Biological factors such as genetic susceptibility and abnormal neurological function may increase the risk of disease; psychological factors such as childhood trauma, negative cognitive patterns, or insufficient emotional regulation abilities can shape an individual's vulnerability; social environmental factors such as family conflict, high-stress events, or lack of social support may act as triggering or maintaining factors. The interaction of these three factors ultimately leads to cognitive, emotional, or behavioral dysfunction.

Biological genetics posits that sex differences are determined by heredity; biosocial factors theory suggests they are the result of the combined influence of biological genetic factors and sociocultural factors; cognitive development theory emphasizes an individual's awareness of their own sex and related activities; behaviorism argues that they are determined by reinforcement, emphasizing the role of social learning; evolutionary psychology attributes them to different adaptive challenges faced during the long process of evolution. The psychological similarities between men and women far outweigh their differences; one cannot infer an individual's level of aggression or verbal ability solely based on their sex. Sex differences only appear when calculating the average level of a group.

Most parents know that before a child turns three, several things need to be done: developing intelligence, building a sense of security, and learning basic self-care skills. However, many parents overlook one essential ability: teaching children to recognize their own bodies. A child is born like a blank sheet of paper. To survive, they need to understand the world, and the best way to begin is understanding themselves. When a child is born, everything in the world is unfamiliar. At this moment, besides their mother, they are most familiar with themselves. According to the laws of human cognition, understanding things should proceed from easy to difficult, from familiar to unfamiliar, following a gradual principle. Therefore, for a child to understand the world, they must begin by understanding themselves.
