The shops around the school, like magic, always attract the attention of children, and children always love to get together after school, which is not that children love to learn too much, but because the stationery inside is too interesting.
Recently, the reporter visited a number of stationery retail stores and wholesale stores in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and found that in addition to a variety of exquisite styles of neutral pens and books, various themes of stationery blind boxes, blind bags have become the favorite of many primary and secondary school students, this blind box contains a variety of themes, more associated with children's favorite anime images, so that they can randomly collect different styles of stationery. There are some well-known brands, and prices range from a few dollars to dozens of dollars.
A stationery shop owner: This is a blind bag of stationery, it is a variety of practical stationery such as ultraman series pens and books, this sells for 17 yuan, because it has authorization, and the genuine ones about Ultraman are not cheap.
In addition to relying on the appearance of these stationery, "stress reduction" and "healing system" have also become selling points, and their value has naturally risen. The reporter learned through inquiry that this kind of decompression pen box and decompression pen bag are very popular with children, and the cheapest one also sells for 35 yuan, and the expensive one can sell for more than 40 yuan.
In order to attract children, a variety of decorations and novel functions have been added to ordinary stationery, making stationery more like toys, and the use of functions has "taken a back seat". Parents looked at these stationery that looked like toys and began to worry.
Parents of students: When reading, you should still buy formal stationery to learn, because after all, two things cannot be mixed together, otherwise you will think about playing when you study. Stationery is too fancy, it will distract his attention, I think it is better to be simple.
Expert reminder: easy to distract attention and there are still security risks
From the original toy blind box, tide shoe blind box, to catering blind box and even the current stationery blind box, the use of a "gambler" psychology. In the face of blind boxes full of "surprises", some adults cannot extricate themselves, let alone primary and secondary school students with poor concentration. As an educator, Teacher Li feels that such stationery will not only be unhelpful to learning, but will also affect the children's mental health.
Nanchang Yuzhang Primary School teacher Li Yun: The attention of children in the lower age group is actually very short, a class he can maintain until 10 to 15 minutes is already very good, some bells and whistles stationery in the class, it is easy to affect the child's attention, which will also affect the children's psychology of some comparison. So as our teachers, we hope that parents will guide their children to buy some of the simplest, most practical and most common stationery.
In addition to influencing children's attention, the "stress reduction" function of those who play decompression stationery is also debatable. The material of the kneadable part of the decompression pen holder and notebook is generally slow-rebound PV material or memory foam + plastic, and when students "knead" the decompression stationery, their attention is distracted, and their anxiety may be alleviated. But this decompression effect is usually temporary and does not solve the problem fundamentally.
Lu Heli, Department of Psychosomatic Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: Because after all, stationery only exists on some specific occasions, if he uses the habit of venting his emotions in this way, then when he does not carry this stationery, he may vent his emotions by hurting himself. In our clinic, many children cut their arms with art knives and burned themselves with cigarette butts.
In addition, stationery takes "stress reduction" as the selling point, and it is easy to cause bad psychological hints to students, especially young students, and constantly strengthen children's concept of stress. In fact, stationery is only a tool when we learn, if the stationery is turned into a toy, it will also interfere with its own functional positioning.
Yi Waigeng, director of the Institute of Sociology of Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences: Toys belong to toys, stationery belongs to stationery, can not confuse all the concepts, adolescent growth is very important in the process of socialization, their recognition or attention is easily disturbed by other methods, this is not right, we must first let the school, parents including our understanding of education back to its origin, can not deviate from its function itself.
