  Case: Little children getting a little too close
Let us say you have two children around 6-7 years old in your class who grow to be close friends. You see the girl just wants to be friends and the boy is overly attached bringing in gifts for the girl, is always around her, and you overhear that he is calling her at home. You can see it going in a bad direction, as far as someone's feelings getting hurt. Is there grounds for action, and if there is when is the right time?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a talk with the little girl how she feels about the boy being around all the time and I would let the parents know what is going on. If it continues, I would have a talk with the boy about different ways he can show his affection like drawing pictures. I think the right time for action would be as soon as the girl is uncomfortable with it. If it turns into harassment I would contact administration immeadiately.
