When my brother would be out with our infant son, toddler, it was crazy how many women would hit on him. We used to jokingly call my kids 'bait' for him.
My husband was Coach for both of my kids through elementary school and he had a literal fan club of mothers around him at every practice and game. It was rather ridiculous.
I do think it kicks up some nurture instinct in women. They see a 'kind man', good with children and strong in other ways and it sends biology in to over-drive. Now if that woman is in a bad marriage or has a husband that isn't that involved with their own children, then it is even more ratcheted up.
For some tiger moms, the flattering of Coach/teacher thing is a way to get their kids 'ahead' and not related to their attraction.

It may be common but no it is NOT normal.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
If something is common, it is therefore normal. Women and men are attracted to each other, whether they are in a committed relationship or not. That is NORMAL. It is nature and biology and the entire reason we as a species still exist.
Sorry no. Being consistently attracted to your child’s teacher or coach is not normal. It is it is not a healthy emotional development.

The psychology is a person having unhealthy boundaries and projecting feelings on inappropriate people.
This. To be attracted or have a crush on every single care giver and teacher suggests poor or inappropriate emotional development.
