[quote=Anonymous]PP w/ADHD kid diagnosed in 1st grade: most teachers have a bunch of tools they use to help kids with the impulse to move/make noise. My daughter has an elastic band around the leg of her desk that she can fidget with. Teachers can move where your son is sitting, allow him to chew gum, let him work standing up, you name it. I would make the teacher and school counselor my first stop to enlist their help with your son and to help keep the classroom running smoothly.

As for your son, even if he is being so-called “defiant” on purpose, the point is that he is still in first grade. Even his defiance is a sign of immaturity, not necessarily of mean spirited behavior.

I’ve talked with both my kids about how their brains aren’t finished developing and so it’s hard for them to control their mouths or bodies, but it’s something that gets better with time and practice. I’d approach your kid with the goal of enlisting him in finding solutions: that it’s not fair to other kids if he’s noisy, but you want to help him find a way to get some of that energy out in a way that isn’t distracting to others.
