Case: Hands in Pants
Andrew has a problem with his hands during classwork and independent work. He puts his hand into his pants while doing his work. I try to pull him aside and tell him that big kids don't put their hand in their pants. He says he understands but it seems as though it is a habit that he can not break. It might be supplemented by the parents or that they don't care if he does it or not. I plan on addressing the parents with the issue but what can I do if they become uncooperative.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel that a lot of these physical behaviors can tend to happen when a child is either: distracted, concentrating, or not thinking. Giving the child an alternative behavior while they are doing these things (e.x. a stress ball) would probably be the most helpful. However, this is only me assuming things, and it is important to know exactly what may be causing this behavior. Try to notice what he is doing whenever the behavior occurs. Is he focusing? Distracted? This can help you know when you will need to redirect him. |

Comments: I think this could be helpful, but also distracting from class instruction. Would have to be careful here, if the student is able to actively participate and remain engaged while working with a stress ball, then it could work. Would depend on the student. |

Comments: I do believe that this could help somewhat with the student. Bottom line is that if it is a habit then no matter what he will revert back to it. |

Comments: I would not do this, by giving him a stress ball could just turn into an another distraction. |

Comments: This is a very excellent solution! It gives a way to cover all the bases while still offering a way to handle it immediately. |

Comments: I agree. Try to give him something that will distract him from doing that. He probably doesn't even realize he's doing it. A stress ball or a fidget spinner might offer an alternative to his mind to something other than his pants. |
