  Case: Needs a Father Figure
I have a student whom is trying to impress me. One day, he feels bad behavior will impress me. The next day, he explains his favorite things. He disrupts lessons in order to go into detail about himself. How do I give him attention without taking away fro the lesson?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe put him in a peer group with students that he has a lot in common with and they can have time together to discuss and talk about their lives. Also, you could invite him to lunch bunch with you and other students, where he wouldn't be disrupting classroom time but he would get to socialize a little more with you.

Comments: I love this solution. Not only can it help with making friends, it can also help with the flow of class. Having lunch is an amazing solution because that is social time, and can really give the student the opportunity to connect with you the way they've been wanting to.
