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 understand your situation. I have been in the same situation myself. I think the idea that of personal space will be a great idea! You can explain that to the whole class and then if he tries to do something you can remind him the rule. Also, the finger tap was a great idea! That will be perfect. He still gets affection from you but is more like a symbolic thing.
