DS aged 6 and I are very close he is a real mummies boy and a very tactile child. Always wants kisses, cuddles, wants to climb on my knee and asks can he sleep in my bed.
He does a karate class it is a mixed age class with children from 6ish up to 12ish. There are about 10 children in the class I think. Most of them around DS age, 2 girls the rest boys.
During the class he will run over to me several times for a kiss or will blow me a kiss. Obviously I love how affectionate he is but none of the other children are behaving like this. Its not disturbing the class in any way.
Do I continue with the reassurance and let him be himself or do I somehow discourage it and try to make him a bit more independent?
