I don’t understand. Is your son the student, who is being disruptive or is he distracted by another disruptive kid? If he is the disruptive kid and that kid is close to him; there is nothing wrong with your son asking the other kid to be quiet. My son is usually the disruptive one and the kids in his class have no trouble asking him to be quiet. If the kid is still disturbing the class and the teacher doesn’t know; your son needs to tell him or her. You want your kid to get along with others, but he still needs to be successful in school as well.

Good Luck.

Kids with ADD/ADHD always seem to do better when they are sitting in the front row or as near to the teacher as possible.  Maybe you could request that.

My daughter made leaps and bounds from K, 1st - where they sat in circles on the floor, moved around - to 2nd where there were rows and she was in the front!  She had to force herself to pay attention, which made her more tired at the end of the day, but she learned and wasn’t distracted as much.

Hey, I grew up with ADD and I had to learn to speak up for myself and ask that classmate to shut up!mof course I would be the one in trouble for saying it but it was hard already trying to focus on the teacher while you are also aware of everything around! My mom requested for me to sit in the front and as I got older I just choose spots right in the front or the second row! I’m 26 now and still picks seats in the front! Grant it, I’m not always the popular one since I tend to try to do everything perfect and will ask in an heart beat to tone it down! Yet as your son gets older he will learn how to manage being ADDer! Hope this helped some! If you want ask your son how he feels, about this kid in class!
