  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!)
Instead of touching their head, you could have cool handshakes with students or high five them as they stand in line. You could also line them up and have them say a rhyme or code word when they are in their place in line.
