NO you are doing great to many parents stop giving hugs & kisses when their children get older, they needaffection not just as a baby.

Why would you ever think that? Let them know everyday that you love them with hugs, kisses, nudges, winks, etc.. Although when they get older, they become more shy about it, but then you blow them a kiss (even when you're mad), but still give a hug. Always hugs...never ending hugs...always tell them you love them, even when you're mad. Let them know what you think is right and wrong from the very beginning of their lives. Stand by your word, otherwise the word "brat" comes in.
When you say the word "no" shake your head so when you go into stores, and they want something all you have to do is shake your head and they know you mean it.
Then start a play game, make them smile, laugh, giggle and give kisses, many kisses.

No you are being a loving and caring mom. Who will have a great relationship with your son later on.
Mine was kissed, loved and told how special he was to me and we talk about everything, there are no secrets. He's 18 now and I remember the first time he didn't want a kiss was in the 3rd grade and it broke my heart. Now he comes up and gives me one every now and then.
My saying to him was "I love you this whole world" and he would respond "and back again". We still say that every day. Funny how love can calm the beast in all of us.
Your headed for a life of love from this child...keep up the good work...you are special and your child is lucky to have you.

Wow! I do the same thing with my son who is 3 1/2. It is like pulling teeth to get any affection out of him anymore so when I get the chance to give him a kiss, I will. I don't think you can ever kiss your kids too much, after all, there might come a time when they won't want you to.

i have always been affectionate with my 2 children, boy now 9 and girl now 6 (hugs, kisses, words of love etc) . thankfully they are very affectionate in return. my son even tries to embarrass me by opening car doors for me all the time and kissing my hand like a true gentleman and corny romantic lines in public. he is sure going to impress the girls when he gets older. he even tells me that if he wasn't my son he would want to marry me....how gorgeous is that. he competes with his father for the corniest romantic lines as well.

children need praise and thats great as long as your not doing it for every little thing he does....some people praise kids for stuff every five minutes and it can later on make kids feel bad if others dont do the same as if they must be doing something not great if the teacher doesnt scream from the hills what a good job he did coloring a picture.If your praising him more than a handfull of times a day your going overboard.

As long as they are "normal" kisses... KISS AWAY! They will be more loving as they get older, which is a wonderful thing! Way to go!

I've heard that before. I don't care more is always better. As long as no one is hurting. Happy BD! My daughter turned 1 12/02. I loved her up all day. What the world needs now is love sweet love.!!!!!!!!!

no way! kids love it when you dote (i think that's how u spell it) on them. i have five children and although it seems like i kiss, hug and praise them all the time, i still feel like it's not enough. i try my best to make them feel loved and secure. it sounds to me that is what you want for you son and there is no way you can overdo that. kudos to you!!
