Case: Clingy Student
Ms. Georgia has a 6th grade male student who is constantly clinging to her. He comes to her classroom between each class change, sits with her at football games, gives her cards, and has tried to add her on Facebook. Ms. Georgia knows that this student comes from a very unstable home where he does not receive much attention. However, Ms. Georgia also knows that she must maintain a strictly professional relationship with this student, and now allow him to believe that she is his "friend." How does Ms. Georgia let this student know that he can not be this "clingy" without hurting this students feelings or making him feel rejected?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am thinking a redirection to a hobby. What if Mrs. Georgia and the school counselor discuss what might interest the 6th grader. My thoughts are to channel his time and energy in a school activity where he can make new friends. This could distract him from Mrs. Georgia and limit the time he has to be around her and make her cards. |

| Comments: I appreciated this response because it did not focus on telling the student directly that his behavior was not appreciated. Redirection is the best option in a case like this because the student already suffers from lack of attention and possibly low self esteem. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do this because he clings to the teacher for emotional support. Helping him find a hobby can direct the cling to a sport or another distraction. |
