Re: Kissing Your Children On the Lips

Without even thinking about it … my personal thing has been kissing anywhere on face be it lips or cheeks until 4 years old and 5 years to 7 years kissing on cheek and 7 year old plus kissing on forehead … I have no problem in kissing my own kids … I will kiss other people’s kids on the cheek if they are under 2 years and on the hand or forehead if under 5 years …

It sounds quite clinical but it is not - I think it is quite a natural response and it is natural to change habits based on age of child. Any one who is grossed out really is giving it too much thought.

So so right mA! I am the same when it comes to placement of kisses. Though to be honest with my baby brother who is a teenager now and a head taller than me I still kiss his cheek. He bows his head quite respectfully bless him, to recieve the daily kiss in response to his salaam in the morning. I had a major hand in raising him. The kiss on the hand, the first time I noticed that myself was my own grandfather. He would kiss my hand when we would say goodnight. The back of my hand, in a very non angraiz way. The second person to kiss on the hand was my MIL and my husband’s naani. I found that very endearing.
