Case: Pencil Chewer
In one of the classrooms I've observed, there is a student who chews the eraser to his pencil. Not only is this a distraction to the other students, but also poses a small threat to the students overall health. The teacher has told the student several times to refrain from doing this, but he continues to. I'm assuming this is a fidgeting tactic the student possesses. Any suggestions on how to terminate or lessen this behavior?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I definitely suggest a sensory chew toy, also speaking to the parents as this may be a sign of an underlying health condition like an iron deficiency. |

Comments: Reaching out to parents to let them know of the situation is effective. It will allow the parents to further find a solution to their child's problems that can be worked on. |

Comments: Sensory fidgeting toys are a great suggestion, it may be as simple as that! Especially if the student has ADHD or like you said, an underlying health concern. |
