When is it okay to touch a child?

3 Answers

It is not OK to touch a child. However, if a child is about to hurt another child then it is OK to intervene for safety reasons. This happened to me once and luckily there were two other adults in the room to witness it and the Principal was called right away. Less

I only expressed a congratulation Like good job and I extend my hand (saying give me five) Less
