Kissing at school aged six!!!!

[Molehillmountain]

Dd1 has said that she kisses her friend at school as part of a game. I don't think there's anything really dodgy about it and when people keep asking dd if she's got a boyfriend it seems to fuel it but how do I approach this. I don't like it, but I dont want to make too much of it and so perpetuate the behaviour. I'd also love someone to tell me I'm not the only one whose dd does this!

Kids in my dd's class used to do this when they were about that age. When they got older they definitely grew out of it (and would be mortified to think of it now!) I think you are right not to make too much of it, but you could always have a quiet word with class teacher or playground assistant to check it's not getting out of hand.... Good luck! Honeybun

That's good to hear . I have said to dd that we really only kiss people from our family. I hope that wasn't too much. We'll see. My gut said it was normal but a little nagging voice said not.

my dd used to kiss her friends, boys and girls good bye at nursery, but now she is in reception it seems to have stopped, but we are a kissy cuddly family and always kiss family and frineds good bye x

We used to play kiss catch in the infants.

You know, I think it's normal! I remember all manner of things going on in the infants! And we all turned out more or less okay!

My dd's class (yr 1 & reception) got told recently that kissing isn't for school time. Seems clear enough and the more overbearing girls understood.
