[|Human|] i HAVE A 9 YR OLD SON WHO IS DISRUPTIVE IN CLASS.  THE TEACHR SAYS HE DOESNT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND SEEMS LIKE HE SPACY OR NO THERE AND DOESNT FOCUS.  HES BEEN TALKED TO, HAD THINGS TAKEN AWAY & PUNISHED.  WE DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, PLEASE HELP.  HES A VERY SMART BOY .
[|AI|]  Hi, I can understand your concern for your son. From your description, it seems that your son has some behavioral problems which includes hyperactivity and inattention. More details regarding his behavior will be required like how does he remain at home to make a confirmation diagnosis. In any case, punishment is not the way to take care of his problem. The best way out will be to seek a psychiatric consultation for him. In case he is diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), he will need treatment with stimulants like methylphenidate. In addition, behavior therapy measures like token economy will be useful for him. Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
