  Case: Personal Space Boundaries
Students are not allowed to hug, or touch each other during the course of the school day. This students is very
touchy. He does not have clear boundaries of personal space and can be inappropriately affectionate causing multiple redirections throughout the school day. He has a history of this, and while nothing inappropriate has happened I fear issues are escalating. What steps should be taken or what strategies should be practiced?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest either a male teacher or a counselor talk with him just to remind him that students are not allowed to touch one another and some students might not like him touching them. Tell the student you do not want things to escalate, especially into a situation that leads to a fight.

Comments: I do not think that it has to be strictly a male teacher or counselor to be the one who confronts the issue. Instead the confrontation needs to be from the teacher, and follow through with a meeting with the parents.
