There is a movement to stop schools from punishing children with detention and even expulsion when no-touch rules are broken in schools. What are your thoughts about the subject? In an article printed in Mind Body & Soul Magazine August 2007, I strongly expressed my support for this movement and asked that parents and educators teach children about appropriate and non-appropriate touch instead of stifling them with our fear of connecting with others.

Recently I posted a petition to end no-touch rules in schools at www.touchisgreat.com. With more than 200 signatures including responses from several other countries, this petition is sending a strong message to schools across the world that we love our children and want them to enjoy the comfort and security of loving touch from their friends in school. 

Please sign our petiion today.

Don't forget to share your thoughts.

Loving touch is as essential to well-being as sunshine and fresh air.
