[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He really is just a normal kid in all other ways. He's always been very affectionate and [b]hands on[/b]. Unfortunately that isn't flying in public school! I've taken tv away sometimes and allowance but feel like anything else wouldn't fit the crime. [/quote]

You are mitigating his behavior. He is annoying to the other children. He is annoying to everyone but you. You are not helping him by saying he's affectionate and hands on. Your little talks with him aren't helping. Neither are your mild punishments.  Maybe it's time you get a little tougher with the consequences.[/quote]
Agree.  Calling out in school and tickling in third grade like this is not only abnormal, but has been a repeat problem for him over the years, punishments aren't working, affects the learning environment for many others, will have him soon enough be labeled by the other kids and their parents, etc.  I know you said he was evaluated for ADHD:  what precipitated the evaluation?  Who did it?  How long ago?  Has anyone like a teacher or other professional in his life mentioned another evaluation since then, etc.?  It is hard...almost impossible, that he has zero issues at home...so he acts completely appropriate (no shouting out, no tickling, follows your rules, etc.) on play dates, at home, etc?

What does "hands on" mean?[/quote]
