Controversy As Doctor Claims Parents Kissing Their Children on the Lips is ‘Sexual’ & ‘Confusing’
The comments made by an American doctor years ago suggesting that parents shouldn’t kiss their children on the lips at all because it could be ‘confusing’ and ‘stimulating’ has again sparked fierce debate online.
Dr Charlotte Reznick, a child and educational psychologist at Californian university, UCLA, gave a quote to The Stir in 2010 when Harry Connick Jr was photographed kissing his eight-year-old daughter on the lips.
At the time, she said: “If you start kissing your kids on the lips, when do you stop? It gets very confusing. As a child gets to 4 or 5 or 6 and their sexual awareness comes about (and some kids have an awareness earlier – as when we notice they start masturbating at 2 or 3 sometimes – they just discover their private parts and it feels good), the kiss on the lips can be stimulating to them.”
What’s your take on this?

Hmmmmmmm for reals? Wow.
To an extent I also support them. Anything that can trigger sexual stimulus in a child should be avoided by all.
hmmmmm, so many researches
Well for me o, I don’t buy the idea of kissing a child on the lips beginning from age 2, but pecking and hugging them is cool.
Like ur reply
For me kissing on the lips should stop at two.Thereafter,just peck on d cheeks
Seriously, I hate it and I can’t do it, it’s disgusting.
Why kiss? Why not peck on the chick
