Change the child s seat. Make sure the child is not bored. For example, I really appreciated how you helped Mary collect all the notebooks today. If disturbing behavior continues, withdraw privileges that are especially dear, such as participation in extracurricular activities, and explain why. Sometimes the child needs to work alone.
Most children do react positively to the above measures.
However, if they don t, I have seen the following system work with several disruptive children. Put up a chart with 10 stickers on it, e.g., colorful stars, footballs, etc. If nothing works, as it sometimes doesn t, ask for help. With the school administrator, look into the family and health background of the child. Frequently, disruptive children have health problems such as hyperactivity or hearing, sight, or even psychological problems because of their home situation.
