[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 83057, member: 3413"] Hi, My difficult child's teacher talked to me a few weeks ago when difficult child sang at his desk all day. She wasn't sure whether he was being defiant or not, but I don't think so, since he does it all the time at home when he's trying to focus or calm down. It's a self-soothing technique for him, but it is kind of disruptive. For my difficult child, a quiet alternative for the singing and humming is to chew gum. The teachers won't allow that, but it totally works! Also, my difficult child's teacher gave him a big pink eraser that he could fidget with quietly. She's a pretty understanding woman. difficult child's therapist has also been working with him on quiet ways to fidget or breathe deeply when he's feeling restless. I would definitely talk to the broom-riding teacher (lol!), explain that difficult child is likely doing this to keep from being MORE disruptive, and give her some helpful suggestions. [/QUOTE]
