  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 would contact administration, the guidance counselors, and the parents. Showing this kind of affection so early may be a sign of some inappropriate behaviors toward the child.

Comments: In this case I do not feel that is the problem. I think he is just a young, affectionate child who needs to be taught about personal space.

Comments: I honestly think that this solution is a bit extreme. There are steps she could take before contacting admin. I do think she should document his behaviors, though.

Comments: I do not agree with this situation, although I do agree that this can be a sign of abuse. I think that It is best to try and talk with the student and see what the student says and how they act, then monitor their actions afterwards. If it continues then the teacher should reach out for additional support.
