[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter pinches her skin and picks at her skin when she’s stressed. I bought her cute stress balls and I told her to destroy them when she feels anxious. I realize what you are going through is much more serious but I think sometimes just giving a kid another outlet helps.[/quote] Is pen chewing at grade 10 normal way to relief stress?[/quote] Yes it’s normal. I teach at a school and many kids do even as old as grade 12! My daughter (grade 10) does it too during the earlier part of the school year where there is more uncertainty and choosing subjects and getting adjusted. Less towards the end of the year. It is good they have an outlet and while it’s not the best habit, chewed flattened pens are far less serious than cutting. [/quote]
