My son is 8 years old. His teacher last year was upset that he was always fidgeting in class and moved his seat away from all the other children. She suggested I have him tested for ADHD. His pediatrician said he was fine as long as he was still maintaing good grades. No amount of begging the teacher would help have my son moved back with his classmates. He began chewing on his shirts to relieve some of his anxiety. By the end of the year he was chewing up many pencils a day. I have tried a stress ball as a replacement but he chewed that up also. His new teacher is fabulous but we don't know how to break this habit.
