  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 have a classroom discussion on why we don't touch other people during class and how we can avoid doing it whether if it be by accident or on purpose. Encourage the student when he is keeping his hands to himself and redirect him when necessary.
