  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!)
This could stem from a cultural belief. If this is the case, it is important to respect these beliefs. I would suggest teaching the child other ways to show affection since not everyone likes being touched all the time. Teach the students that other students have beliefs as well and they may be different, so he has to respect their beliefs as well.
