[quote=Anonymous]I had a kid in class like this and while he had many appealing characteristics, the constant talk and jokes wore me out. What helped with him was 123 Magic. I’d count him to 3 if he kept saying the same thing or aggravating people and then he had to take a break from the group. This helped him self-regulate. I also allowed time for him to do the constant chatter away from others to get it out of his system.

I think you should sit down with him and outline the things that happen by writing them down so they are concrete in his visual mind, and also writing down his positive qualities. Then say you need to work together to create a plan especially for family gatherings because you want to see family more often. Find out, maybe over several conversations, what he was thinking or feeling when specific issues happened. Look for common threads. Is his mind just racing? Is he anxious? Is he overwhelmed by feeling socially pressured? Let him talk and just listen (about this!).

I would definitely get him in a social skills group, [/quote]
