[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. Everyone has given good advice but here is an additional frame of reference: my DD is at a preschool-8th grade school, so obviously there are very different developmental stages all under one roof. Hugs, picking up, etc. all happen with the 3-5 year olds. For K-2, teachers have signs by their doors for when they greet students and say goodbye to them. At the beginning of the year, kids learn that they can choose how they interact with the teacher in the morning and afternoon and can point or say hug, fist bump, high five, or wave. By now they just ask or the teacher knows their preference. In middle school there are only high fives and fist bumps and that is very deliberate. The only teacher touching or hugging is for alumni who return to campus during HS or college breaks, and a couple of times when huge things happened like a child’s parents dying.

I used to think these rules were a little over the top but it’s better than the creepy stuff others have dealt with growing up (me included). [/quote]
