The hottest parenting debate right now is whether or not it’s okay to kiss your kid.
Of course, kids can totally decide if and when they want to offer a hug or kiss. We don’t force our kids to be affectionate with anyone—not relatives, friends, or each other—and we’ve taught them that “no means no.” Their bodies belong to them, and that includes affection for parents, aunts and uncles, siblings, everyone. Full stop.
The other important topic that comes up during consent and my-body-is-mine conversations? There is nothing wrong with offering affection to those you love, as long as the receiver is also cool with the affection-of-choice. And if someone doesn’t like to be touched, that’s okay. We embrace that too . Fist bumps, high fives, or winks are all appropriate too.
Preferences aside, it’s beyond me why anyone would spend their precious time and energy telling other parents what they should and shouldn’t be doing with their children, regardless of the topic. Yes, there are important parenting conundrums. Yes, sometimes parents seek advice from more experienced moms and dads. There are choices that impact us all . But to-kiss-or-not-to-kiss is not one of those critical topics. I think we can all agree the world could use a little more love, after all.
