[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For younger elementary kids, the rule in my kids' school is (steps escalate if/as they don't solve the problem):

1. Tell them to stop.
2. Walk away.
3. Get help from a teacher.

Use this framework, explain it to her kid, ask her to deploy it. Then it's not "this kid is always bothering mine all the time" but a more actionable compliant (from the kid) for the teacher to address. [/quote]

Agree with this.  If your daughter has told him to stop herself and that doesn’t work, she needs to tell the teacher herself.  If that doesn’t work then I would be in touch with the teacher. Give her the opportunity to solve her own problem first though.

I would not contact the mother [/quote]

Agree with this. You do not contact the mother. 
You suggest clear ways your child can tell the other child to stop and how to get away from the situation. You suggest to your child what to say to the teacher if after a few attempts at stopping the unwanted attention it's still happening and you give permission for your child to go straight to the teacher if the other child touches her in an unwanted way. You follow up with your child to ask if the bothering has stopped and what the teacher has done, if anything. If things improve, praise your child for speaking up for herself. If things don't improve, you go to the teacher and ask what they have done since your child went to them about the other child's behavior.[/quote]
