I have come across several parents who will teach their kids to kiss on the mouth, including mine., and I always wondered if that bordered on inappropirate. I know kids are just so cute and lovable, but how appropriate would this seem when the child gets older, and now this kissing on the mouth has become a habit? Won't it seem strange if your child is going around giving peole kisses on the mouth?
Also, wouldn't it expose them to possible pedophiles because it seems like a rather overtly sexual gesture?
I knew this little kid, who would actually use his tongue when kissing ie do a little lick thing.., (I don't know where he got the idea to use the tongue), but it seemed a little strange when he interacted with everyone around him in that way, young or old.
What do you think of teaching your children to kiss on the mouth? Would you teach your kids to do that, and why?
