He gets frustrated when he does not get to answer, so he just shouts out the answer to everything. I constantly remind him to raise his hand and give others a chance, but he is still shouting out. What can I do to help this student learn to not shout out? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would try showing him techniques to keep answers in his head. Let him know why and how this affects others when he shouts out. Have him come up with a way he can control his impulsive comments. With guidance maybe the both of you can come up with a cool action that he can do. May he can put his hands on top of his head to block the "thoughts from coming out" or put his hand over his mouth before he feels the words coming out. When you see that he performs this correctly and you see him attempting to do it then reward. You can also make a chart of how many times in one day he shouts out the answers. Have a goal for him to reduce that amount a little each day until there are hardly any or no outbursts at all.
