2 year old stopped wanting to kiss us!

[captivatingtears]

My 2 year old son has never been particularly huggy or kissy; he likes a cuddle and to cosy up and read; he also loves being tickled and horse play etc etc.

But as of late, he's refusing to kiss u. Turns his head away or says no :-(

Is this a normal phase?

I don't know, if it's a normal phase, but my eldest went through a phase of saying "No" to kisses. I think because his grandmother asked once and when he said no, (typical toddler don't want to, even though he liked it), she cajoled and pleaded playfully and he adored the fuss. So for a while he tried it on with us too. Soon wore off.

I know that 2 is very little, but most boys quickly grow out of giving kisses, even to their mum.

Have you been eating a lot of garlic recently?!

Yes it's normal my dd (3) tells me " you can't have a kiss, I haven't got any left" ha

Dd1 used to rub herself where you'd kissed (or hugged) and give it back. It was very cute

Ds (age 5) has started a thing that he has a pretend tub of hugs and kisses and you can't give him any more if it's full or it bursts. I'm not sure whether he thinks it bursting is a good thing or not, but he loves the pretence of it. Sometimes it's nearly empty and needs filling up quickly too.

hey..
my 2 year old dd went through a similar stage to, totally refused to kiss anyone, and if by chance you managed to land a sneaky one on her cheek she would rub it furiously and say "i said no"...quite amusing lol
it lasted a few weeks and she's now back to allowing kissing and will quite often throw herself at you and plant a really wet one on your nose
try not to take it personally, he doesn't realise that feelings get hurt by this and before you know it he'll be wanting his kisses and cuddles again
