[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]

NP here, OP I wondered about anxiety when I read your initial post and still think it could be part of the problem.  That is not an excuse for the behavior, but possible an explanation and a place to start for trying to curb the behavior.  I'd try talking with a therapist and sharing your observations.  It's possible that CBT could help and would probably involve both parent and child sessions.  You know the behavior is inappropriate and are trying to do something about it, good for you.  Just don't get caught up in the labels/reasons being excuses, just as something that may give you a starting point for dealing with them.

Good luck.[/quote]
