  Case: Student cannot and will not keep hands to himself
I am facing a situation where there is a 9 year old boy who can't keep his hands to himself. I have constantly seen him doing things like walking up behind kids and taking a wisp of hair and yanking it... flicking/kicking them from behind... coming up from behind and smacking them on one shoulder and then quickly shifting over far to the other side (you know, the old 'who's there' stunt) etc.... etc.... etc.... You never see him without his hands on somebody. Any ideas?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This can become a huge problem if not stopped immediately. Each time he puts his hands on someone make sure there is a consequence whether it's little or big. Put him in the front of the line, in the front of the class, and have a consequence jar. This jar contains multiple punishments like write 10 times of what you did wrong, how the student plans on fixing it and even an apology letter to the student harmed. These types of consequences single the student out and give him no opportunity to continue it. Also by isolating him he doesn't get the attention he is striving for.

Comments: Isolation will not teach the student how to act when they are around others and may make matters worse.
