[quote=Anonymous]Some teachers use an "answer ball" - where you don't give the answer unless you are holding the answer ball. This can help impulsive kids as it give them a tactile expectation, and slowly develops an expectation pause before answering. It won't change her habit over night, but if the teacher uses it, you can try it at home too. "Catch the ball/bean bag then answer." It would be important for the teacher to let her have the ball often enough to develop the expectation too -- if she never gets to answer, she will stop waiting for the ball, etc. It also help reinforce "sharing' in conversation. Many kids understand sharing objects, but not talking/attention/less tactile kinds of sharing. The ball pairs these two concepts. We share the ball, like we share the opportunity to give the answer.
