you tried the smiley faces and getting to 10 for a reward but obviously 10 is too high of a goal for him to currently meet....make that goal smaller....something that he can attain each 1/2 day or even 1/4 day if that's
ok now you're in a Catholic school so is there any type of social worker or counselor to help? The mom would need to give permission but that would help out some. Have you changed his seating area? place him near you or your aide....away from any distractions such as other active children.... every time you catch him doing anything that you like, immediately praise him....even if it's only wow I like the way you're holding your pencil still. this is a little guy that will get attention any way he can either positive or negative and currently the negative is working quite well for him. Get him used to getting positive reinforcement instead of the negative all the time. This boy sounds like he has a million bad behaviors so it is realistic to only concentrate on one or two at a time....chose the most dangersous things he does to get rid of first.... Lastly, my son has had open heart surgery and complications 2 times post op....and I have witnessed first hand how that has affected his sons....this little guy does or doesn't see his dad on a regular basis? you didn't say...if he doesn't then he is probably terrified that his mom will die and he'll have no one to love him...I know my oldest grandson confided in my younger son while he was babysitting them during an emergency hospital trip that he knew his dad was going to die....and he's 9....so somehow find out what this little guy is feeling about his mom....I'm certain that's adding to his behaviors at school...and good luck this ones going to take a lot of loving and consistancy
