  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!)
I have had this issue in the classroom, we solved the problem by instating a high-five rule or asking permission to give a hug, if they ask and the other student says no they have to accept it.
