[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I read all the responses. Thank you for the thoughtful ones. My son hugs at home and that's about it when it comes to being hands on here. This appears to be an issue that comes out in school. He'll come home and tell me he got in trouble for not keeping his hands to himself and tickling. After some reflection I have come to the conclusion that it must be a social issue. He makes friends on playgrounds, plays with his cousins, and never tickles so I'm wondering if it's school anxiety?? It's the school environment that brings this out. [/quote]

If this is your answer, then honestly I think the problem will perpetuate.  You're addressing the tickling only.  What about calling out?  What about not listening to his teachers?  What about disregarding your punishments?   Just being honest, but you do sound like you're going to write this off as some anxiety about school.[/quote]

+1 million. OP seems to have it in her head that this is a school problem only. OP, please get your child tested again. See someone different. Honestly, an 8 year old should keep his hands to himself, doesn't matter if it is a tickle or not. The other child is not asking to be tickled. You said the teacher said he tickles and can't keep his hands to himself. This leads me to believe that he is doing more that you aren't mentioning. [/quote]
