Worry Beads
Worry beads or kombolói, kompoloi ( el, κομπολόι, , ''bead collection''; plural: , ) is a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands and used to pass time in Greek and Cypriot culture. Unlike the similar prayer beads used in many religious traditions, worry beads have no religious or ceremonial purpose. Etymology Modern Greek κομπολόι is derived from κομβολόγιον κόμπο-λέω > κομπολόι. This etymology accounts for the fact that κομπολόι evolved from ''κομποσκοίνι'', the Greek word for prayer rope. Use Worry beads have several uses in Greek culture, including: *relaxation, enjoyment, and generally passing the time *as an amulet, to guard against bad luck *used by people who wish to limit smoking *as a mark of power and social prestige. This is especially true in the case of expensive worry beads made of silver or amber. Many prominent Greeks were users and collectors of worry beads, including former Prime Minist ...

Stress Ball
A stress ball or hand exercise ball is a malleable toy, usually not more than 7 cm in diameter, which is squeezed in the hand and manipulated by the fingers, ostensibly to relieve stress and muscle tension or to exercise the muscles of the hand. Patrick Hummel is widely understood to have created the stress ball in central Indiana in the mid-1980s. Despite the name, many stress balls are not spherical. Some are molded in amusing shapes, and pad- or transfer-printed with corporate logos. They may be presented to employees and clients of companies as promotional gifts. Because of the many non-spherical shapes now available, stress balls are generically known as stress relievers. Types There are several different types of stress balls that originate from many different countries. The most common type of stress ball in America is the "bean bag" type, commonly known as a "Hacky Sack". In Australia, most common are the foam type, which prevents stress through resistance from squee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fidget Spinner
A fidget spinner is a toy that consists of a ball bearing in the center of a multi-lobed (typically two or three) flat structure made from metal or plastic designed to spin along its axis with pressure. Fidget spinners became trending toys in 2017, although similar devices had been invented as early as 1993. The toy has been promoted as helping people who have trouble focusing or those who may need to fidget to relieve nervous energy, anxiety, or psychological stress. There are claims that a fidget spinner can help calm down people who have anxiety or neurodivergences, like ADHD and autism. However, as of May 2017, there is no scientific evidence that they are effective as a treatment for ADHD. Development In October 2016, inspired by the ''Fidget Cube'' Kickstarter campaign, Allan Maman used his Byram Hills High Schools 3-D printers to make ''Fidget360'' with the help of his physics teacher, Eric Savino and worked with Cooper Weiss to promote the toy.

Fidgeting
Fidgeting is the act of moving about restlessly in a way that is not (socially recognized as) essential to ongoing tasks or events. Fidgeting may involve playing with one's fingers, hair, or personal objects (e.g. glasses, pens or items of clothing). Fidgeting is commonly used as a label for unexplained or subconscious activities and postural movements that people perform while seated. A common act of fidgeting is to bounce one's leg repeatedly. Rings are another common focus of fidgeting; variations include ring spinning, twirling or rolling along a table. Classrooms are sites of fidgeting, and traditionally teachers and students have viewed fidgeting as a sign of diminished attention, which is summarized by the statement, “Concentration of consciousness, and concentration of movements; diffusion of ideas and diffusion of movements go together.” Causes and effects Fidgeting may be a result of nervousness, frustration, agitation, boredom, ADHD, excitement, or a combinatio ...
