I can’t take away the eraser or give it to him only when he asks, because I have more students.

He’s impulsive but nice. His parents know he does stuff like that.

Any ideas?

      It can easily be a chocking hazard, it’s unsanitary, and it can cause the child to be ostracized by peers which can limit their social development.
