This is my 7 year old by the way. He is generally doing really well, but apparently he makes a racket when working, disturbing other children. He sort of talks to himself, and makes noises like bombs exploding and things (it is cute when it is not annoying). It is a neurological thing, but so far no one has come up with ideas about how to stop it. If you ask him to stop he stops until his mind wanders and then it starts up again. He doesn't do it if he is really concentrating, but if the task doesn't require full concentration then the racket starts up again.
The other kids don't mind most of the time, he appears to be quite popular, it doesn't affect learning, his teacher has been supportive and we have both made efforts to get him to be more self aware, but she has said we have to find a way to stop it now, that if it goes on next year it will cause problems.
I would be really, really grateful if anyone has any ideas about how to stop it. I have found cognitive therapy available in the US for his specific problem but nothing anywhere near us.
