[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid a bit like this OP.  Very willful.  And it becomes a power struggle with the teacher.

I think you can set up a reward system and also if the behavior doesn't improve, set up a consequence he cares about and follow through.[/quote]

Is this something that has improved with time with your child or are you suspecting something diagnosable? Thank you for the suggestions I’d love to hear more about your experience and what has worked for you.

DS is noisy. ALL. THE. TIME. He sings, hums, makes noise, and fidgets. Mostly centered around music, which he LOVES. Takes voice lessons. We went through 2nd and 3rd grade with the main teacher calling or emailing me quite frequently. It was very stressful because nothing seemed to help a great deal and most techniques seemed to make it worse for everyone involved. Rewards systems caused so much stress that DS ended up crying over it several times because he wants to doing well. DS is also quite willful. Fluid seating helped some. Getting DS to be more conscious of it helped a little. Getting the teaching to be more tolerant and try a variety of methods, including more movement breaks, preferred seating, etc. helped too. Some of the issue is child dependent and some of this is teacher dependent. It has approved over time at school, but he definitely still does it. This is not a kid with ADHD (was tested), but just a music loving, willful, and bored kid.[/quote]
