To help kids to better control their voices, firstly teachers can discuss what kind of voice levels we can use in different settings with kids, like whispering in reading area, using a loud voive when answering questions or discussing.
Secondly, teachers use pictures to demonstrate the voice levels which help students to understand. For example, cats represent whispering whereas an elephant represent loud voice.
Correct students' voice when they are too loud or making noisy, and at this point we can also use stickers or giving points to reward kids who use the correct level of voice.
Based on the theory of behaviorism stated by John Watson studnets behaviors can be corrected by teachers with certain stimuli. In this case, stickers and points are the stimuli for kids to change their behaviors.
2-7 years old kids are at the stage of symbolic thought so that pictures, symbols, graphs will help them to understand, and influence their behavior choices eventually.

Lev Vygotsky: Sociocultural Theory of Childhood Development!
One of the most important factors to Vygotsky's conception of childhood development is the impact of social context on learning.
In the above video, this theory can be seen to be utilized as the teacher points out the behaviors of the other children. This way the child is not necessarily learning through any direct confrontation, but through the context clues of the behaviors of his peers.
In this instance both the teachers and the child's peers act as the "More Knowledgeable Other," effecting education in what Vygotsky called the "Zone of Proximal Development."

B.F. Skinner: Operant Conditioning
Verywellmind.com. (n.d.)
.
Operant Conditioning's response to challenging behaviors revolves around the ideas of positive (used to increase the likelihood of a wanted behavior) and negative (used to reduce the likelihood of a negative behavior) reinforcement.
In the above video, positive reinforcement in the form of praise is used when the child's behavior is corrected.
In the above circumstance if negative reinforcement were to be used that would some sort of punishment. The teacher would scold the child for his behavior or he would receive some sort of citation.

Student kept insisting that he is unable to perform simple routine task independently despite being able to.
According to Thorndike Law of Effect, responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation.
Based on this we can design intrinsic motivation pertaining to him when he completes these routine tasks independently.
Preschoolers are simple and when we provide intrinsic motivation for him when he is willing to persevere and independently complete these routine tasks.

According to Pavlov's Theory of Classical Condition, creates a conditioned response through associations between an unconditioned stimulus and a neutral stimulus.
We can make use of known positive unconditioned responses for this student and then use the unconditioned stimulus for these positive responses and develop them into a conditioned stimulus for him to successfully complete these simple routine task independently.
