  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!)
Tell him it is okay to give hug and so however, sometimes he is making people feel weird and awkward. He will probably understand and stop.

Comments: I would not say this. He needs to understand that hugging is okay but only for people that want the hug.

Comments: I don't think the teacher should word it in that way to the student that's harsh in my opinion instead the teacher should kindly speak to the child.

Comments: This solution will not be useful because it does not teach that the other students feel uncomfortable. The student may feel offended that other people may not like being touched. It is better to teach overall personal space and to not leave it up to the touchy student.

Comments: You need to teach the importance of consent not give him unclear directions
