It is most of the time just hugging and such but it is sometimes hitting or kicking (in a playful way). He is a very affectionate boy and he means well, but I know it makes some other students uncomfortable and I don't know the best way to handle it because I don't want his feelings to be hurt but he needs to respect others space. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would talk to the student and possibly their parents about the situation. I would tell him that not everyone likes to be touched. I hope this helps.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think that by immediately talking to the parents will really embarrass the student and make the issue bigger than it needs to be at the stage it is in. I would not use this solution.

Talking to him will more likely be effective, but bring parents in can cause disrespect problems as well.

It agree with this solution as it seems too extreme, especially since the boy means well and will probably repsond well to just talking to him in class.
