  Case: I Love Your Brown Skin
I have a little student in my class that is already infatuated with girls. As I am sitting in the rocking chair teaching, he will rub my legs and express to me how he loves brown skin. I redirected him and he was doing better, so I thought. I p.e. he tries to kiss little girls and tell them how pretty they are. I teach kindergarten. What are some positive ways I can redirect him without making him feel embarrassed for having a crush?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I love that he "loves your brown skin". This Kindergartner is obviously very affectionate and appreciates beauty. He may need to meet with you and/or the counselor to discuss other ways to show affection without touching (within reason).

Comments: I agree, speak privately with the student. He may simply be emulating his parents or other loving relationships he has observed, and might not know what is and isn't appropriate.
