thats what my mom told me and i plan on tellin my children. its just to get your injured child to stop thinking of the pain. obviously you still need medicine and other stuff to affectivly make it better however, when you have a screaming child, you want them to stop thinking about the pain so if say your kiss will make it better they are being distracted and that is a good thing.

Depends on who's got the hurt and where it is. (That's the flip answer.) The real answer is that kissing it shows the child that the parent cares and is "doing something." That probably helps the child. It's a damn site better than saying, "Oh, be a big boy/girl."

From a psychological standpoint, yes, it does. If you tell a little kid that kissing makes it better, the kid will believe you and feel better because of it. It's all in the head.

If you ask my 2 year old grand daughter she would say yes. Whenever she gets a boo boo she always makes me kiss it. I ask her does that feel better her answer is always YES

yes, absolutely. love makes all the difference.
It's much better to have an owie and someone who cares about you and loves you than to have one alone. Don't dismiss the power of ritual on the participants in the ritual. This is a cultural ritual and it is very powerful.

Yes. Better is a state of mind.

It depends on who is doing the kissing...

It distracts you... so I think it's better than a punch in the arm. I'm sure it causes your brain to produce some endorphins or something aswell so maybe...
