  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!)
Ms. Georgia could invite other students who she knows the student would get along with to sit with them at these football games and during lunch. If she helps him transition to a group of friends, then he will become more comfortable branching out on his own.
