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!)
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, and the other students, feel when he is constantly touching, 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 (that consent doesn't matter), and if he understands that he needs to listen to others wishes and understand their boundaries before attempting any types of touching, or at least ask for permission before he does. |

Comments: By asking student how it makes them feel when the one student touches them is not a solution I would use. It singles the student out. |
