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!)
Along with discussing the issue with the councilor, and possibly your admin team, to find different solutions, you could also talk directly with the student about how it makes you feel when he is constantly touching you, how it would make him feel if someone were to do the same to him, and most importantly, about the importance of consent. This is a newspaper article posted by The Washington Post about the importance of teaching our children/students about consent at a very young age (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2015/02/13/its-never-too-early-to-teach-children-about-consent-and-boundaries/).
The student might not be receiving these lessons at home, and could actually be receiving the opposite message, and if he understands that he needs to listen to your wishes and understand your boundaries he may stop touching, or at least ask for permission before he does. |

| Comments: Putting the students in a "how would you feel" position tends to get them to stop and think about their actions before they try to do anything. Students with many siblings may be used to constant touching and being around each other, but they need to understand personal space and boundaries before it gets out of hand. |
