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 loved the idea of teaching about consent or affection. Younger grades can be a read aloud and older grades can have a discussion. I also think it's important to have a hands and feet rule in place and allow maybe just fist pumping. Make sure you are consistent with everyone, don't allow some but allow others.
