exercise ball and personal helper for a struggling child in Bible Class

Janie, I have a wonderful little boy in Bible Class.  He is so disruptive, I cannot teach.  He wants to learn and I want him to be able to stay.  What can I try?
What a wonderful teacher!  She also has lots of energy.
My husband suggested a cinder block on his head.  Too often this is the suggestion.
I suggested several things that took too much room or time.  I asked if she had an exercise trampoline.
She was willing to go buy one.  Finally, we came up with two ideas to try.  One was to have a teen in the congregation be his personal helper. The other was to have him sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair.
The teacher called me and said that these two ideas helped.  She is also going to refer him for tutoring.
How exciting to have a teacher willing to look beyond the busy in a child.  She looked at his heart.
