  Case: Touchy Students
I have a 4th grade male student who seems to be touchy with me. He's always touching my arms, poking me, and touching my hair. I always remind him to keep his hands to himself, but he always comes back doing the same thing. How should I handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that contacting the school counselor will definitely help. I would also discuss with the student was is an appropriate touch and what is not an appropriate touch. The behavior of this student would send up some red flags for me. I would continue to treat them like every other student, but maybe take time out to just talk to them and listen. It doesn't matter the age of the students, they all still need to feel loved by their teachers and they still need to get hugs.

Comments: This is so great. I think explaining to the student why touching isn't allowed would go a long way. It's a great starting point.

Comments: I agree that contacting the counselor is a good idea. The student just needs to learn the difference between what is appropriate at home and what is appropriate at school.
