My 7-year-old son is unable to keep quiet during class. His teacher e-mails me with concerns of him whistling, getting out of his seat, talking to his classmates, etc. I know that these are common problems, but we have discussed with him the importance of behaving during class so he doesn't interrupt his classmates. Now, we have recently caught him lieing about various things. At school, his teacher uses a red/yellow/green light system. Green=good day, yellow=she may have had to tell him to settle down once or twice, red=he was bad. Everyday we ask how his day was, and he usually tells us that he gets yellow, but we come to find out that he has received a lot of red lights.
He attends a private school and earns great grades. We just are unable to get through to him. We tried taking away video games, early bed times, no dessert treats, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions to get him to behave in class and not to lie??
