  Case: Daydreaming
How can I help a child who is constantly daydreaming?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have found that giving the student something to do with their hands can get them from constantly daydreaming. You can give them something like play-doh or a squishy ball or something like that that they can play with without thinking about it. This tends to give them something to do and helps them pay attention better and more often.

Comments: I agree with giving students things for there hands so they pay attention but I would make sure it goes with the lesson plan and that everyone get some. Otherwise students may think you are favoring that student.

Comments: I'm not sure if I agree or not. This method is usually used for student who have ADHD or just generally hyperactive students. If they aren't paying attention because they are fidgety, this would be good. However, if they are just spacing out, I'm not so sure this would work.
