Teenager Has On-again Off-again Habit Of Humming Without Realizing It Popped Again. Suggest?
My brother was nervous about football so his on-again off-again nervous habit of humming without realizing it popped up again. After about two and a half weeks of constantly reminding him that he is humming, he hasn't stopped. I don't know what to do, he gets so annoyed when anyone tells him. Teenagers, what are you gonna do with them, right? Anyway, please contact me and let me know what I have to do to help him.

Actively opposing to his idea will not work. You have to go along with him, take him into confidence, and then gradually tell the pros and cons of the same.
Alternatively, contingent his study time with play time by making a behavioral contract. this works
