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!) As others have mentioned, other toys would be a good solution. Additionally, gum may be a good choice as well. You may have to be careful and ensure they toss the gum when the sugar is exhausted, but besides that it should be a very good choice for mouth fidgetting.                 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: This does provide a safer alternative for students to relieve whatever is causing them to want to chew on something.
