Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Give the student breaks and vary instruction and activities as much as possible. The child may just get bored and lose attention after sitting still for so long. This can be expected with many young students. It is always a good idea to let the students get up and release some energy in between lessons. You could lead them in a short game of Simon Says or jog/stretch in place.                 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: specific solution that could help, maybe use the transitions of the day to also stimulate the student's attention.

It gives young students the opportunity to let out some energy before returning to instruction.
