I have tried to approach it as "noticing" him and laughing but then asking him to control it. I have approached it in the punishment area. However, nothing is working. He did inform me of things happening at home and told me how his mom doesn't get home until midnight every night. I think this is where a lot of it comes from. He is a very bright students and sweet person. What else could I do to have him control this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) He obviously just needs the attention so I would make sure he is included in group activities and I would assign he in charge of a task in class so he feels important.
