  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!)
I would send a letter home to each parent explaining what a bob is. If the parents are uncomfortable, I would substitute for a high 5, or a handshake when each kid transitions.
