What do primary school students dare to listen to when they build a WeChat group to tell ghost stories?

On May 12, Ms. Zhao, a citizen of Taiyuan, called the hotline of this newspaper for help, saying that children who are attending primary schools often wake up in the middle of the night recently and sometimes cry, which makes her very worried. After chatting with the child, I realized that the child was invited into the WeChat group by a classmate. At 9 o'clock in the evening, someone will tell ghost stories in it. Many children in the upper grades of primary schools enjoy it, but for children in the lower grades, it will be unbearable, which may lead to psychological problems in serious cases.

So, what do teachers and parents think of this phenomenon? What good advice does the counselor have? In the past few days, the reporter has launched a visit.

Student scanning

Those who dare to listen will be respected, and those who are timid will be teased.

Ms. Zhao's daughter is 9 years old and is in the third grade in a primary school on Changzhi Road. Because the home is far from the school, in order to facilitate contact, Zhao Nvshi gave the child a mobile phone with WeChat in it.

In the last week, I always hugged my mother tightly when I slept and said that I would sleep together. Ms. Zhao said that they had just slept separately from their children for less than half a year. At first, they thought that children were not suitable for sleeping alone. Later, they found that the child woke up at night and cried several times.

"At first she didn't say anything, and then I forced her to ask. It turned out that someone in her class built a WeChat group to tell ghost stories, and she joined. " Ms. Zhao said that she entered the WeChat group and listened to several ghost stories, which was really scary.

However, in their school, especially senior students, they will listen to ghost stories in this group. Sometimes, if you dare to listen to such stories, you will be respected, especially for male students. On the contrary, if a timid female classmate quits the group, she will be laughed at.

Journalist experience

Ghost stories are really scary. I heard many children say that they were too scared.

After many twists and turns, the reporter found the ghost story WeChat group established by primary school students and applied to join. Around 9 pm, there are always group owners or others who will read the ghost stories they have seen and recently read to others. According to the group announcement, this group can only talk about topics related to terror. Three times a week, each activity only tells one story, and five people begin to tell it. The reporter listened to a ghost story told in May 15, which was really scary. In the process of telling stories, people kept saying, "I'm too scared to listen", but the story went on, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes.

The reporter chatted with the group owner Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu said that she was in the fifth grade. I happened to see a ghost story group built by others. She thought it was funny, so she set up this group, mainly a small community partner. Most of the audience are primary school students, and some say they have nightmares. The source of ghost stories is all bought extracurricular books. After reading it, tell them in the group. Some people feel scared after listening to it, but they will want to listen to it the next day, feeling excited and excited.

Parental statement

Some people say it should be banned, others say it's nothing.

Mr. Guo, a parent, said that such superstitious ghost stories should indeed be banned. Because the child's psychological development is not perfect, once the child listens to this addiction, it is easy to cause harm to his body and mind. Not only school teachers and parents need to pay attention to this matter, but also all walks of life should pay attention to it to prevent this trivial matter from developing in a bad direction.

Another parent, Mr. Li, said that he had also seen children listen to this ghost story. He can't feel anything. "There is no need to make a fuss. The more worried parents are, the more curious they are to their children, and the more they want to see them. " With the popularity of mobile phones and computers, parents can't watch their children from beginning to end. They can only remind children to improve their discrimination and protect themselves. After listening to it, he is no longer interested in it, maybe his attention has shifted to other places.

He Laoshi, the head of a primary school, said that every student's resistance is different, so besides sexual violence and other factors, we should also pay attention to the negative emotions brought by similar ghost stories to children. They have told students at school to take the initiative to avoid superstition, pornography and other content. "You can't cut across the board, just don't let children use mobile phones. After all, children in the upper grades of primary school cannot do without mobile phones. "

He Laoshi also said that children should be guided to change in a positive way. For example, they can imitate the recently popular Reader, read beautiful articles for everyone in the WeChat group, and show their hobbies such as calligraphy and painting.

Psychological counselor suggested

Parents should not directly stop their children from listening, but should guide them appropriately.

On this issue, the reporter consulted Cui Qinghua, a second-level psychological counselor of Shanxi Wisdom Source Psychological Counseling Center. She said, after all, people are different. Some primary school students may be fine after listening to it, and some children will feel scared after listening to it. He will have a sense of picture in his heart, which will flash back from time to time, affecting his normal psychology. When children have this phenomenon, parents need to guide them and tell them that the discomfort caused by this ghost story is just an imagination, which is not true.

If the child is afraid in a short time, parents can turn on a light in his room for the child who sleeps alone, let him wake up and see the surrounding environment for the first time, and then quickly return to reality from the ghost story; Parents can spend more time with their children who have not slept in separate beds for the time being.

Pupils aged 6 to 10 have a strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity. Parents can properly guide the ghost stories that other students are exposed to, such as telling him the story that this senior classmate heard, "You can listen, but not this year, but next year and the year after."

Cui Qinghua said, don't directly stop children from listening. You can wait for the child to get older and get used to it naturally. Moreover, in the usual psychological counseling, few children have psychological problems because of listening to ghost stories, so parents and teachers should not be too nervous and treat them rationally.
