DS1 is 5, in reception. To give some background, he got expected/exceeding in all EYFS areas apart from listening/social/emotional. His teacher commented that he doesn't look like he's listening but actually is. Full disclosure: he's had an EP to help him with 'meltdowns' over small things in school. EP says he's great and just needs a bit of emotional support, and has some sensory issues.
We have had endless conversations since he was 3ish about this: look at the teacher, sit still impossible, don't 'do other stuff' when the teacher is talking. It never goes in.
Today at swimming he was meant to move up a group, but didn't because he kept disappearing under water while teacher was talking.
Please help! I'm a teacher (secondary) and I don't know how to help him!

How do you teach 'active listening' to a 5 year old who doesn't get it?
