  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!)
Obviously he is seeking a relationship that he doesn't have elsewhere. It is important to set boundaries but also give him an outlet. You can try giving him 5 minutes after class of your full attention, telling him that if he doesn't disrupt the class to tell him things etc. he can have your full attention at a certain time.
