Parents please note that there is a problem with such "unzipping toys"

Shiatsu gyroscope, rat exterminator, spoof char siu bun, net red tape ball, silicone press music... The decompression toys in the hands of the children have changed from generation to generation. It is understood that the emergence of decompression toys was originally intended to help those children who are inattentive and active, so that they can improve their concentration through repeated compressions. And nowadays, the function of decompressing toys seems to be more than just for the purpose of decompression...

Parents: Not sure if it's beneficial

Not long ago, as soon as her daughter left school, she dragged Ms. Zheng to buy "sticky balls". Ms. Zheng had seen someone playing on the Internet before, gluing a ball with tape of various colors, saying that it was used to decompress. "My daughter told me that her table mates had a big ball stuck to it. At the end of class, I don't go out to play, I am sticking to the ball, so my daughter is also interested in this. Ms. Zheng said that her daughter also told him what a "live ball" was and what a "dead ball" was, and that "if it is glued into a dead ball, it is not good, and it will lose!"

Recently, Ms. Qian's son is also trying to "shop" and wants to buy a silicone decompression toy. Because of its colorful colors, this toy is called "Rainbow Press Music".

It is understood that this toy originated from a board game produced abroad a few years ago, and is a toy that exercises mathematical logical thinking and reasoning ability. The rules are also simple: two players take turns pressing the raised "little mouse" (i.e. the ball), and each person presses an unlimited number of rats at a time, but must go together and connect, and the last person to press the "mouse" fails. "The son said that he had to do his best to lay out and calculate, and let the last mouse to the other party win." Ms. Qian listened confusedly, but because she was not sure whether this toy was beneficial to the child, she did not buy it for the child for the time being.

Child: Classmates play, I play

A few days ago, the reporter visited a number of children's toy stores and saw many children watching or buying decompression toys in toy stores after school.

"If the child wants it, we don't think it's anything, so we'll buy it for her." Yu Yu (pseudonym) is in the third grade, and her grandmother told reporters that she usually picks up and drops off her children to and from school, and her children will also ask for some toys. "Last time I bought a bubble gum and it tasted great. I played with her once and threw it away, and never bought it again. ”

Chen Chen (pseudonym), a 6th grade student, told reporters that the decompression toys were very popular with his classmates. "If you grab it, squeeze it, drop it, it won't break, and some of it will make sounds, which we think is very funny." Except for a relatively large plastic smell, there is nothing else. ”

Subsequently, the reporter visited a small commodity wholesale market on Jingyi Road. "Most of the people who buy it are adults, and there are many students." Ms. Liu, who has been running toys for many years, said. Mr. Liu, who is buying decompression toys with his children, said that he bought this thing for his children because the child said, "We have all the classmates, but I don't have it."

Cheng Xiaofeng, a psychology teacher at Jinan Xingzhi Primary School, believes that operations such as kneading, squeezing, and rotating can indeed play a role in alleviating some of the pressure. "Everyone's emotions need a reasonable and appropriate outlet, and children and adolescents are no exception." Cheng Xiaofeng said that there are many ways to relieve pressure scientifically, such as exercise can regulate the nervousness of the human body, improve psychological state, and also enhance physical health, and can also be reasonably cathartic by hitting pillows, drawing emotional picture books, talking, screaming, singing, etc.
