Any idea's on how to help my 9 year old son settle down in school?
Up until this year, he has been a straight A student, teachers always love him, say he is a pleasure to have in class, etc..We just got back his ISTAT scores from last year he is in the 97 percentile range in reading and 81 percentile in math nationaly.He came just a few points shy on the Otis Lennon test he took last year of making it into the gifted program at school.
This year it is completely the opposite, he isn't completing assignments on time, he is getting up out of his seat in class, fidgeting, and back talking. He even got up on the radiator and jumped off of it! He's teacher is ready to strangle him, his grades are falling (still well above average), and he is being disrespectful to classmates and teachers. Of course he is punished for this behavior, and he seems genuinly upset about his behavior when we discuss it with him, but it still continues.
Any suggestions?
