Touching other peoples hair.

A 5 year old boy is always touching the girls hair in his kindergarten class,he twirls,rubs,and spells their hair even after being told it's inappropriate to be touching other people without permission.Is this something to be concerned about? Is he lacking something? Suggestions please.

Touching hair
by: Anonymous

I have a 4 year old student who was into touching the girls' hair in the beginning of the school year. We used our rule (Hands and body to yourself, sung to "head, shoulders, knees and toes") to teach him to keep his hands to himself, and of course the rule applied to everyone. We also worked with his parents and nanny to keep reminding him that touching was only by permission. And the old, "would you like someone to do that to you without asking?" He is doing much better, now, and his self-esteem is still rock-solid.

I think that is crazy that it is such a big deal that he's touching people's hair. How about if you allow him to touch only YOUR hair, what damage can he do to your hair? Just explain to him that it can get him in trouble if he touches stranger's hair or body in any way and just make a deal with him, the other post is very good, reward him for keeping a good habit of not touching his sister's hair and the other people except you. If he is told the reasons, maybe it will be less confusing and he will not feel so hurt if you tell him that he can caress your hair...because you are his Mom...

I have a daughter, I would never be offended or angered if a boy would touch her hair, as long as she wouldn't mind. I think that men in general like women's hair, because it is soft, long, smells good etc. I really feel for him, people are so god at making even little boys feel like pervs.

Hello,

My son is 2 and 10 months old. He have a very bad habit of touching my girls hair and my hair too. He is constant touching my hair even at night. He haven't started school yet. I am a little worried if he started school and start touching little girls hair. I know the teacher will complain about that. Maybe you could tell your son or explain to him about touching other girls hair in school is not right. Find appropriate way to explain to your 5 years old son about not allow to touch girls hair in school and reward him for that.
