[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have tried ignoring him but this can go on for hours. And again, he is doing it in school, at tae kwon do, at camp etc. 
Thank you to the poster who explained that a bedroom is for sleeping - we send him there not so much as a punishment but to give him time to calm down. He gets so crazy and worked up into a frenzy that talking to him calmly, asking him to stop and elevated levels of threats don't seem to work.

I'm looking for tips and tricks of anyone who has been in a similar situation.. I completely understand that he is 5 but when I see him acting this way in front of a group of kids over and over again it is frustrating. [/quote]

OP - when you're ignoring him, do you leave the room?  This is definitely the sort of behavior that requires an audience.

You can't control him doing this at camp, but you do have a say in what happens in his class.

You can set expectations for how he needs to behave, and let him know gently that if he gets too silly, you'll have to pull him out of the class so he doesn't distract the other kids.  Not in an angry way... just a matter of fact consequence.[/quote]
