is it ok for a 3-year old child to see mom and dad torridly kiss?

Answer 1

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? A KISS IS JUST A KISS.

BUT KEEP YOUR PASSIONATE KISS PRIVATELY HE MIGHT GO AROUND KISSING PEOPLE TORRIDLY..HE WILL SAY THAT IS HOW MY PARENTS KISS EACH OTHER.

Answer 2

Kiss - yes. Torridly - No. When small children are introduced to some things (like torrid kissing) they don't quite get the appropriate context of this type of thing and may end up trying it on a pre-school pal just because they saw it.

Older sons and daughters understand the relationship of their father and mother, so they're a different thing (although by then they'll think you're gross probably).

Just tonight on Desperate Housewives was an example of what I'm saying. The 7-year-old kid heard some biological facts and was bringing them up in all kinds of inappropriate situations. Very young children (and three is very young) should not be introduced to things that are beyond what they can properly put in context. They're old enough and smart enough to get the thing about people kissing, but the "torrid" part is more than a child that young can properly put in context. No matter what or who it is, if its "torrid" it is not appropriate for a young child.

Answer 3

I kiss my husband in front of my kids but we aren't making out. It more like a slightly prolonged peck. No tongue and our mouths never open not even slightly. Anything more than that is too much for a child to see save it when you are alone. Kids pick up behaviors and repeat those behaviors. You don't want the child to go to school/daycare/babysitter or where ever and start kissing everyone the way he/she see it at home. Then the school or who ever will be calling you.

Answer 4

Kissing passionately in front of a 3 year old may not be such a bright idea. During that age, a toddler usually begins to develop emotionally and cognitively and making love in front of the child would only confuse him/her. I would suggest that at this age, the parents keep this type of behavior private.

Answer 5

Why not?

So many kids experience is of their parents fighting or being cold to each other and that's the lesson they learn for later life and their own relationships. Seeing parents kissing with enthusiasm and maintaining love and affection for each other can only be a really healthy thing, I would have thought!

And lucky the child whose parents are still in love and still show it :-)

Answer 6

You are role models. She will tend to learn from what she sees you doing. A romantic kiss between parents, and seeing them be affectionate, seeing how they relate in different situations, when what she sees is healthy, is a good thing. It does have limits though, if it gets to the point of foreplay, then I would say that is private, and she will learn that some things are private.

Answer 7

Torridly? Probably a little inappropriate. But kissing and hugging and other affection, is perfectly fine to display in front of your kids. They need to grow up and see how a healthy marriage should be.

But on the verge of sex kind of kissing needs to be private. Because if you do that in front of your three-year-old, be prepared to answer LOTS of questions. :o)

Answer 8

I would recommend a kiss like one you might give your son. On the lips, but no tounge. My 3 year old nephew seen his parents kiss torridly and he started sticking his tounge out when he went to give momma kisses. He was told no firmly the first time, and now they don't kiss like that in front of him anymore.

Answer 9

I don't see why not!

Most families certainly let their kids see them argue and shout!

Kids almost never see the love part.

It also instills good sexual role models. It is said a child makes up their mind on sexuality by the age of 5.

A girl or guy who sees their parents arguing may become repulsed by the opposite sex for fear that "THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT."

Answer 10

When I think "torrid" kissing, I think of borderline heavy petting and groping. I don't think that's appropriate. Pecks on the lips and even french kissing is cool, but torrid, I think that should be saved for passionate times in a dark corner, or better yet, in the bedroom.

Answer 11

no. it is natural for mom and dad. a child needs to know that mommy and daddy love each other. sometimes this is the only way they can. they may think of it as "icky," but every child under the age of 10 thinks this.
