Are personalised pencils embarrassing for children

[Cs01kh]

Will giving my child personalised pens or pencils (that have his name on them) be embarrassing for the child at school?

Mine didn't take them in to school - they were their pencils to use at home.

Early years yes. They lose anything that’s not clearly marked. After that, maybe not.

Faber castel make pencils with a space for the name. I still have one from DC2 that was a ruler (cool). It’s now down to about 4cm!

Does your child need to take equipment with them? Most schools provide pencils, pens and other bits.

My 8 year old has personalised stationary so I didn't have to stick his name on everything. He doesn't appear to be embarrassed and willingly takes in spares with his name on them.

In secondary, yes
