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 had a similar situation like this happpen to me with an older boy around 8. We all know students love to give hugs and me personally have no issue if a student wants a hug and giving them a hug. I had one boy who was over affecionate and would like to hug for extended periods of time and would continue to place his head in my chest while doing so. At first i thought nthing of it and thought whatever he is really friwndly and he is short. After a couple more times i began to feel uncomfortable and thought it was inappropriate and even thugh it was innocent, someone walking by might not think other wise. On top of that, I witneessed him hug other teachers and it was very short, brief hug. So i would try to cut the hug short,try making the hugs shorter bt he would not let go, and even tell him that he could get 2 hugs a day. Beginning of class and the end at dismissal because he wanted hugs literally every 5 minutes or less but no success. I spoke with my supervisor about the matter and she suggested I sit him down and talk to him about personal space and touching but I did not want to hurt his feelings. What I ended up doing was contacting his mother, very nerous like because it is a delicate matter, and explained the issue. She apologized and said she would talk to him about touching and what not. We actually laughed about it in the end. Turns out he was just at the age where he was noticing things. He came to school the next week and presented me with a fist bump and it was never a problem again.
Long story short, inform supervior, administration or whoever of the situation and discuss it with a parent and find alternate ways for the student to interact so everyone feels comfortable. |
