  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!)
Depending on the age of the student, I would maybe set aside a time of the day where the students give you a hug. Try chalking it up to another reason, but explain that we need to save the hugs for one "big" time to give hugs, such as before they leave for specials or to go home.
