6 year old ds says the other children laugh when he kisses his (female) friend

My jaw dropped, but I didn't make anything of it. How do respond to that? Do you?

He seems far to young and I didn't expect this at all! I don't want to condone at his age, yet I don't want to be 'negative'. Erm... Help

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Obviously I know the kissing is innocent and for all I know is meant in just a 'kiss like a sibling' rather than in any way hinting at 'girl/boyfriend type ways.

Thank you. I sort of feel that way too (if he had been kissing a boy, I probably wouldn't have even thought about it again). I wondered what other people's thoughts about it might be.

We are a very affectionate family and kiss and cuddle a lot.p, so I'm sure it's natural that ds will be this way.

At 6 you can maybe explain to him that some people don't like to be kissed, especially at school, and he should ask the first time he wants to kiss someone.
