Lest this word relinquish all its usage, I am suggesting it now. It was certainly in vogue when I was a schoolboy. "Stop fidgeting, boy", but you don't hear it much these days. Perhaps it has been replaced by ADHD.

Maybe the frequency of use depends on where you're located. For at least several years, "fidget toys" have been nearly ubiquitous in the U.S.
For examples, see
