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 would provide alternative options for the student to fidget with. I would definitely say it is a fidgeting thing, if you provides other tools it can help. If not, then take it up with the school psychologist because it could be an anxiety thing.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Involving a counselor or the parents is a good choice to ensure that there isn't something severe occurring behind the scenes.
