My 12 year old son keeps hugging and kissing his mother on the lips.. is it normal??

Question

as mentioned?? is it normal.. I find it quite weird.. my wife does not mind as she loves to kiss and hug everyone.. but I want to know at what age should kissing on the lips stop??

Answer 1

no one can define how a child should behave or not at any age, maybe you son is senceing a time of detatchment now as hes growing older.it can make them more clingy.

Answer 2

unless you have weird ideas its only a mother and son ,so dont worry  

Answer 3

it's extremely normal. Your son likely needs more nurturing and loving and general assurance from his mom. All children grow, develop and mature at their own pace. There isn't a clock that dictates whenever everyone should stop doing a certain activity or begin a certain activity too for that matter.

I think it's extremely healthy that he has this kind of trusting, loving, nurturing relationship with his mom. In a very short while he will shift into adolescence and become very moody as puberty sets in. Having this kind of closeness with his moms lays in the foundation for a trusting relationship when he is faced with the temptations of drugs, alcohol and s*x. If he feels this close with his mom now then chances are extremely good that he will turn to her when these new adventures crest his horizon which means that his mom's influence will help him steer clear of those dangers.

Answer 4

never, if it is just a motherly kiss, nothing wrong with it at all in my opinion

Answer 5

I have a sister that always wants to kiss me on the lips, too. And I'm not comfortable with it either. I've told her so and now I just kind of turn so she gets my cheek instead. I think age 12 is way too old for that. He will be made fun of unmercifully if any of his friends find out or witness this. Stop it now.

Answer 6

There are too many factors that could be going on here.

You might be a suspicious type person...

He might be feeling mor insecure lately.

I would say to you, that unless they are tonguing it, or doing this more than 5 times a day, something is definitely wrong.

And it may not be anything impure, but something would surely be wrong.

Answer 7

That is NOT normal.

It makes it look like they have something sexual going on.

Answer 8

Yes, he is too old for that.  Cheek kisses is what should be done.
