He starts day dreaming and when told to concentrate and do his work he fumbles with his pencil and second guesses himself often. I feel like he is afraid to be wrong and gets nervous because of it. How can I help him relax and trust himself? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Consistently reinforce positive work using behavior specific praise as he is working on his own. You do not want to call him out of wrong answers, but if something needs to be fixed provide suggestions to help him achieve the answer.
