my kids behaviour....

My child just turned 7. I noticed that at home he always want to game or Lego, and that's ok the legos anyway, but I encourage him to go outside. I constantly bring him places each day so he not into the gaming and what not inside . I have been really trying to keep him active. He is very quiet boy at home. At school is a different story. He is always in trouble! he does his work and all, but he likes to chat when he is finished and disrupt other kids. For a while, when he was in trouble at school, I would take his tablet or games away, and he would be better in school. That has changed again. I encourage him to read every night and he does. He is in grade 2 and can read chapter books with words like scientific in it. Very proud of my boy. I get his sight words at home, and he comes home with words like an, of, was and so on. I always thought they would be encouraging him to read his own sight words at his ability. she had said she wants everyone on the same page, but I think this could be a big part of his behaviour. I get him to spell out his sight words instead of reading them, but not much help I would think at school. I am running out of ideas to keep my kid busy at school, when he is done his work . was hoping maybe someone has some suggestions on what I can do on my side for punishments or what I can do to improve him on not chatting so much and disrupting others. We had talked about how it is disrespectful, but it seems he don't have much self control yet. First boy in the family. Want him to succeed and stay out of trouble ?

My family used to put a sheet of mathematics every time we behave bad and it works

Sometimes when they are bored they become chatty because they need something to occupy their time. Is there something you could send with him to school to keep him occupied when he finishes before the rest of the class. Not a toy but something productive. Maybe a workbook with dot to dot or some kind of activity in it. Nothing that would disrupt his learning in class though. Word search books work well and also teach him spelling and words.

I met a mother last week who changed her son's school because he was always chatty. We wondered why she did not do something about it rather than blame the school. It's a good step you have taken. Do something about it. Try to get him more focused on his education. He seems a good chap. I don't have kids so I can't give you any solution.

@mydanods thanks. and your right. it's something definitely he should be able to control when needed to. Important in life. I definitely want him succeed and work to the best of his ability. he definitely is a kind boy.

I'd say talk to the principle if the teacher won't help.

Can't he take a book to school? We were encouraged to have books at school when we were done with our work.

This is what we have been working on the last couple weeks. He's almost done a chapter book .The teacher said once, she thinks he needs different friends as she thinks he's showing off rushing through his work. She made him do everything all over for weeks. She knew he could answer properly and made him which I admired. I like the book idea and pages of extra work. can give him an option maybe instead of one choice as well.
