  Case: Teacher, you bobbed my kid!!
As a teacher I would line up the students ( 5,6 year olds) up when transitioning to another place and "bob" them on the head.. (nicely) and sing a little bob song. The students thought it was funny and we enjoyed it daily. One morning a parent walks in and begins screaming and cursing at me. She said " My baby said you 'bobbed' her". After a meeting everything was cleared up, but I sure don't "bob" anymore. Honestly, I'm nervous to even touch the children, they are young and some children do need to have a lovely, appropriate touch but is it worth the risk?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Your intentions are obviously pure. Definitely send a letter home to the parents explaining what it is and maybe give a choice of whether or not the students can be "bobbed" or not to avoid possible future trouble.

Comments: This solution is also not useful in the sense that you are admitting to using a strange physical behavior with your students.
Because of the prior incidences, it is better to avoid physical touches completely.

Comments: I think that asking each child's family individually is a bit much. It will be hard to remember which child is okay to touch or not and additionally make the excluded children feel confused and left out.

Comments: I would steer clear of giving options to behavior management by the parents and students. This could create the students feeling left out even though it was a parent decision not yours.
