My near 11 year old son is lovely, funny and wouldn't hurt a soul. But he's got to a point where he is annoying a lot of people, his friends, teachers etc. He's going to secondary school in September and I'm quite worried he'll continue to annoy older kids.
He's got a strong sense of justice, which is great for bigger issues (like bullying) apart from he'll tell on someone else if they haven't done their homework or looked at him funny etc.
His teachers are constantly telling him off for fiddling, not listening, daydreaming. He's been assessed for any other issues that may be causing this but they have all come back as not being the case. He doesn't have ADHD or ASD.
At home I'm always telling him to hurry up, stop dawdling and the same kinds of low level behaviours like at school. It can take him 40 minutes to get dressed sometimes.
There are no other issues at school but even his friends are pulling away from him because he's annoying them.
We set up plans at school and home and they work for a while but he slips back into his previous behaviour and it starts all over again. Fluffy things like reward charts, positive behaviour plans etc at school and home just aren't effective and secondary school will be more on him than primary.
I'm at a lose! Can any recommend rewards/behaviour incentives for helping this kind of behaviour? I don't want to reward him for just behaving as he should, but he obviously needs some kind of motivation.
Thanks for any help!
