[quote=Anonymous]One thing that worked for us was making DS always ask for a hug/hand hold/back rub- and then NOT always saying yes (our response was more like- yes, you can have a hug, but not right now; you can have a hug when we get outside/get to the car/get home). At first it was awkward- to deny your child a hug. But over time, him hearing “not right now but later” became tolerable and even acceptable to him. We then added in the “why I can’t right now” piece (hands full, not appropriate setting, etc). We had to ask school personnel also to implement this system (they were more like to hug on demand or without asking), but we felt the need to ask before touching someone else was best addressed as quickly/early as possible.[/quote]
