       They need to publicly answer questions the teacher, go to the board. Children are afraid to say or do something wrong, especially if it causes derision among my classmates and teacher observation. Therefore, they are always nervous when they have to answer or write tests, and unknowing themselves  they start to chew pencils. 


       If a child eats pencils in school and at home, try to estimate its load. Maybe it would be hard or it does not cope with their homework. Or perhaps he have not learned some stuff and it's hard to do his homework. So he sits and thinks, as he does, chewing a pencil, and the head of any sensible thoughts. Help them with homework, explain the loss of a theme, it will feel much more confident and forget about the pencil.
