  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!)
Without singling out the student, now is the time to present a lesson on personal space and boundaries. There is a great book titled "Personal Space Camp" by Julia Cook where a young boy is taught about personal space using hula hoops. Not only will you be able to promote reading, but it will be a wonderful way to do a whole group hands-on activity in the classroom with your own hula hoops!

Comments: I agree with this solution. I believe that it is important to try and educate students on a social skill while, at first trying to avoid singling them out and from embarrassing them. If it continues a one-on-one would be appropriate to communicate to the student their actions are inappropriate and to explain how the student can show they care in other ways that are appropriate for school.
