  Case: Hands To Yourself
I have a student that cannot keep his hands off of his classmates. He is always wanting to touch children's hair or touch their clothes. The other students in my class get irritated by this student constantly putting his hands on them. Any suggestions as to how to help this pre-kindergarten student keep his hands to himself?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I actually came up with a movement for my own toddler because he has a problem keeping his hands to himself. I told him to hold up both hands and place both hands on top of his legs. While doing this motion, I told him to say "hands to myself!" This motion is actually working for him, and his teacher actually told me she seen him perform the motion while he was in a situation with another toddler his age exhibiting hitting behaviors.

Comments: I've seen things like this work before! I once had a child in summer camp who had major issues with keeping his hands and feet to himself. We taught him to clap and stop his feet whenever he felt like he was about to touch another camper. It totally worked.
