  Case: Hyperactive and Social Student
John is a student in a fourth grade classroom who just can't seem to pay attention in class for long spans of time. You know that from observing him work he is a bright student but he is always trying to circumvent having to do classwork by socializing or vying for your attention. What are some ways that you could help him to focus more in a positive way?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try to make short term goals for John and when he completes them he gets a reward. This will allow him to focus on one thing at a time and not to be overwhelmed with the amount of work ahead of him for the day. His reward system could be something as simple as a sticker chart and once he earns a certain amount of stickers for the day he earns something in return. This will motivate John to complete his work and tasks at hand.
