The winter holidays are coming to an end.

The day of school is approaching.

A lot of parents start.

Prepare stationery for your child to go to school.

Many parents around me reflected.

There is a wide variety of stationery used by students.

I don't know which ones are substandard and unsafe.

How to prepare stationery before the start of school?

What are the issues to be aware of?

Let's take a look

Stationery preparation checklist

1.School bags

The size of the schoolbag should be at least able to put down the A4 paper, and the size of the schoolbag should be taken into account when buying the schoolbag, which will affect the child's standing posture if it is too heavy.

The version of the strap is also very important, try to choose a school bag that is more comfortable to carry, suitable for the child's shoulder width, and adjustable straps, otherwise, they will be quite uncomfortable to carry.

The material should be quite wide, otherwise it is easy to break the book. It is recommended to choose a school bag in the shape of a trolley case carefully, because some schools do not allow it to be carried, so don't buy it back and idle it.

The outer pocket and the pocket for the kettle are necessary, and it would be better if the inner layer also had a dividing area, so that children can open up the books and homework books separately and develop a good habit of sorting and organizing their school bags.

The color should not be too bright, it is easy to distract the child's attention in class, and it is simple and generous.

2.Pencil case

Perhaps for safety reasons, many schools now do not allow the purchase of iron pencil cases. You can prepare a cloth or soft plastic pencil case for your child in advance, pay attention to the color is not too conspicuous, and the shape is simple to prevent distraction from the child's attention (children who are easy to get distracted in class, the most common is to play with pencil cases, erasers, and all stationery, so the purchase of stationery should be as simple and practical as possible).

Pay attention to the capacity of the pencil case, at least 4-6 pencils, a ruler, two erasers, portable pencil sharpeners, class schedules and other items.

3.Pencil

HB's pencils, sharpen about 6 pencils a day for later use. You can choose a hexagonal or triangular hole pen, and if necessary, you can also buy some pen grippers to help your child better grasp the pen holding posture.

4.Rulers

15 cm is enough, too long for the child to hold unsteadily, and it is not easy to put in the pencil case. In order to prevent breakage, you can choose a soft ruler, the kind that will not break no matter how you break it.

5.Eraser

The drawing eraser is relatively clean. Many children are prone to losing erasers, so it is recommended to buy small pieces and buy a few more for backup.

6.Pencil sharpener

Prepare a large pencil sharpener and keep it at home, and a small pencil sharpener in your pencil case. Teach your child how to use a pencil sharpener and get the habit of checking the pencil by himself every day to sharpen the pencil for the next day's learning.

7.Kettle

It is advisable to prepare two kettles, one for summer and one for insulation. At the beginning of school, if the weather is hot, you can bring a summer water bottle first, and when the weather turns cooler, you need to replace the child with a thermos water bottle.

The water bottle should be well sealed and the opening should be large, so that the child can easily receive water at school. The school can receive water at any time, so the water bottle capacity does not need to be very large, about 350ml.

Teach your child how to unscrew a water bottle to catch water, which can be practiced at home in advance.

8.Student status photo

The school status will follow the child's primary school for six years, and the requirements are basically the same across the country, and parents can prepare according to the requirements on the admission notice, or go to the photo studio near their home and the place where they take ID photos to consult and take pictures.

National Primary and Secondary School Student Enrollment Information Management System** Collection Requirements: (for reference) Light blue background color, recent frontal bareheaded color avatar digital**, 26mm 32mm, resolution of 150dpi or above. The portrait is horizontally centered in the **rectangular frame,The head accounts for 2 3 of the **size,Students who often wear glasses should wear glasses,The portrait is clear,Rich layers,Natural demeanor,No obvious distortion。 **The requirements should be in jpg format, and the size should be less than 60k.

If you have enough time, you can also wait until the start of school and receive a notice from the teacher before taking your child to take a school photo.

9.Book covers

Generally, transparent plastic book covers and homework books are chosen.

10.Workbook

When you enter the school, the teacher will explain the requirements and quantity of the workbook, and you can purchase it according to the requirements. If the school and class are prepared, there is no need to purchase extra.

11.Document bag

It is recommended to prepare document bags of different colors, label them with subjects, and use them to show your child the test papers, various notices and parent letters issued by the teacher.

12.Art supplies

According to the teacher's requirements, purchase 12 or 24 color watercolor pens or crayons, coloring books, sketch pens and other art supplies.

These student supplies must be avoided when purchasing

The decision to buy stationery is mainly in the hands of parents. Before entering the school, the school teacher will introduce the school's requirements for stationery to parents, focusing on simplicity and practicality, and avoid excessive fancy and colorful stationery, which is easy to distract children from learning.

When purchasing the following school supplies, try to avoid them

Art supplies containing heavy metals

Watercolor paints, crayons, and oil pastels are among the students' favorite art supplies. However, these stationery, like pencils, ballpoint pens, whiteboard markers, pencil cases and other surface color patterns, contain excessive levels of harmful elements such as lead, arsenic, and antimony, which seriously affects children's intellectual development and normal brain development.

Because crayons, watercolor pens, oil pastels, etc. will be in direct contact with the child's body, especially the hand, and the child often has the habit of biting and sucking the pen or fingers, so harmful substances are easily ingested by children into the body, easy to cause memory loss, ADHD and other problems, and may also cause chronic poisoning.

Paper that is too white

Students can't do without white paper for scribbling and writing homework, and when choosing, many parents believe that the whiter the paper, the better, representing cleanliness and high quality. But in fact, paper that is too white can irritate and damage children's eyes. The paper is abnormally white, and a large amount of fluorescent brightener may be added in the production process, which will not only affect the child's eyesight for a long time, but also have adverse effects on the human body. The "General Requirements for the Safety of Student Supplies" stipulates that the brightness (whiteness) of textbooks and books used by students should not be greater than 85%, which is not too white, which will stimulate and damage students' eyes and affect their eyesight.

Scented stationery

Erasers in the shape of bananas, pineapples, cakes, etc., not only have a realistic appearance, but also give off the scent of fruit and cream, and children love scented stationery. Some children are particularly fond of the scent of certain erasers, and will smell them non-stop, and even have the habit of nibbling and biting stationery.

However, the stationery with too strong fragrance and the industrial flavors used in the fragrances of formaldehyde and benzene are exceeded, which will cause headaches and fatigue after long-term use, and children are likely to be chronically poisoned after biting, and even induce critical diseases such as leukemia.

General Requirements for the Safety of Student Supplies" stipulates that all dyes used in student supplies should comply with the provisions of national standards and must not contain 24 kinds of harmful aromatic amines.

Multifunctional stationery box

Now there are more and more functions of stationery boxes on the market, but some buttons are too elastic, when pressing the button, a box or other things will pop out from the side, and these items are mostly made of plastic, with a certain hardness, if the child is looking at the press, it is easy to hurt the eyes or other parts of the body.

Pen caps with defective designs

Some children's pens have no holes in the cap, or the cap or the end of the pen, inlaid with crystal clear small objects, so that children love it, and even the cap is a pencil sharpener ......If the above pen cap is swallowed by a child, not only can it not breathe normally, it may be fixed under the throat and block the trachea, and the pencil sharpener may also hurt the throat, which is very dangerous.

In addition, do not think that only children who can write will come into contact with pens, many young children will play with adult pens out of curiosity or fun, and even put the pen cap in their mouths, resulting in foreign body inhalation or even suffocation.

General Requirements for the Safety of Student Supplies" stipulates that there needs to be a continuous line of at least 68 mm² air passages; The cap should be at room temperature with a maximum pressure difference of 1The minimum ventilation of 33 kPa is 8 liters min. Caps that meet this condition are also not considered to pose a choking hazard.

Inferior correction fluid

CCTV once issued a consumption warning for the correction fluid and correction tape at the 3.15 party: after testing, the toluene and xylene in some altered products exceeded the standard. Long-term exposure to and use of inferior correction products will cause nausea, vomiting, and discomfort to children, and cause long-term and chronic harm to the liver and kidneys. More severe cases may cause childhood leukemia.

School bags, glue, etc. containing free formaldehyde

Some new stationery items such as school bags and glue have a very strong smell and linger for a long time. The adhesives and dyes in these products contain free formaldehyde, which will irritate the human body and mucous membranes, have a strong carcinogenic and carcinogenic effect, and long-term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases, nasopharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, etc.

Stationery with a tendency to be toy-like

In order to attract children to buy, many stationery on the market attaches interesting small parts and decorations to the products, which tends to be toy-like. In order to prevent children from playing with the ornaments on such stationery as toys, causing accidents such as swallowing, choking, and even suffocation, it is not recommended that parents buy "interesting" stationery for children.

Stationery should be picked like this

Choose stationery with bright colors and strong smells

When buying stationery such as pens, erasers, and correction fluids, the first thing to look at is the label. The label should contain at least the product name, manufacturer name, factory address, product standard number, product instructions, applicable age range, safety warnings, etc.

Then you have to smell the smell and carefully choose stationery with bright colors and strong smells. Try to buy products with low odors, and try to avoid pens and plastic erasers with soft PVC plastic hand guards.

Pay attention to the safety of use

To consider the use of stationery safety issues, manual scissors, blades should be the top of the arc, should not be a sharp tip, pen products should pay attention to the safety of the pen cap, the diameter of the pen cap should be greater than 16 mm, the body of the pen cap should have a continuous at least 68 mm² air passages;

Reject the "three nos" products

Stationery supplies have the best use period, and products without a production date, manufacturer and production address are not clear to buy and use carefully. "Three-no" products are prone to excessive levels of toxic and harmful substances, and long-term exposure of students to such products may have adverse health effects.

Do a good job of holiday summary and new semester plan

Summing up holiday life

Parents and children can summarize their holiday life together. Consider suggesting a "rewind" replay with your child to see what has been done and what hasn't. You can use the last time of the holiday to share the gains and regrets during the vacation, such as reading, traveling, housework skills, interpersonal communication, etc., and summarize the experience or analyze the reasons in time.

Check the completion of the job and fill in the gaps. Parents remind or review the completion of review assignments with their children. Many children often put off their homework until the night before the official start of school, and they often rush to cope with it in a state of physical and mental exhaustion. Therefore, it is recommended that parents and children reasonably plan and arrange this period in the early stage of school, check and fill in the gaps in time, and complete homework with high quality.

Where appropriate, parents can guide their children to conduct appropriate revision and preparation. After a vacation, your child may have forgotten about the previous semester, so you may want to take the time to review the main knowledge. At the same time, you can also browse the textbooks of the new semester in advance, and make some previews appropriately, it is not recommended to learn the new knowledge in advance, which can easily cause children to lose their freshness and interest in formal learning, and develop a bad habit of not listening carefully in the next semester.

Help your child get his or her heart shut

Parents should help their children to regain their attention and return to their daily routine. Children during the holidays are usually more relaxed, while after the start of school, they are relatively nervous, and the transition between the two states often takes a while. In this regard, parents should not be in a hurry, but should gradually help their children to take back their hearts, understand more about their children's inner thoughts, and let their children's hearts slowly calm down.

Guide your child to adjust their body clock. Many children have formed bad habits such as going to bed late and waking up late during the holidays, and if they are not adjusted in advance, they will usually have a state of inattention and poor spirit at the beginning of school, which will affect the child's learning adaptation. Parents may wish to work with their children to develop a schedule close to school life during this time, get up, sleep, study, exercise, and work and rest regularly according to the usual school time, so as to better adapt to the next intense study life.

Make a plan for the new semester

The new semester should have a new atmosphere. Parents and children can work together to develop some goals and plans based on the actual situation. For example, which courses to improve in the next semester, which new specialties to master, etc. It is important to note that goals and plans should not be ambitious, but must be achievable. Breaking down goals by time or stage can help your child find out where to go, eliminate blindness, and help you get into a better state of learning.

Encourage your child to contact their teachers and classmates ahead of time. Parents can encourage their children to contact their classmates and teachers in advance to share their holiday experiences and "new things", care for each other, and express their thoughts about each other and their expectations for the new semester. This not only enhances the relationship between classmates, teachers and students, but also helps to cultivate children's interpersonal skills.

Cooperate with the school to carry out the preparation for the new semester. Some schools usually carry out student physical examinations, psychological surveys, parent-teacher meetings, etc., before the official opening of the school, which requires the participation and cooperation of parents. Good home-school cooperation has a positive impact on children's learning, mental health and growth. It is recommended that parents actively cooperate with the school and teachers to do a good job in the early stage of school, and the family and school work together to help the growth of their children.

Hope students

New semester, new atmosphere

Be prepared and don't panic
