  Case: Too Touchy
I have a student who is very sweet but insists on being too touchy to everyone around him. 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 pull him to the side and explain to him that he should keep his hands and feet to himself. It's nice to be affectionate but some people don't like being touched. The best way to respect others space is to keep his affection to himself unless his classmates ask for a hand shake or dap.

Comments: I don't know if pulling the child aside would help solve the problem. He might feel embarrassed afterwards.
