[quote=Anonymous]My 9 yr old son does this and it USE to bother me until I finally understood it was his harmless way of being affectionate and feeling close to me. Yes he sniffs my armpits which I think is gross, but he loves it. Yes he lifts my arms and throws his head under my arm and he loves it. And yes he loves snuggling up to my boobs. We have discussed personal space and boundaries and if I'm not in the mood for that behavior, he kindly stops. You must realize this is comforting to your child, and to them natural. See how many folks have the same experience? And our kids have most likely never met but yet their doing the same thing...it's innate. BTW, he is extremely respectful to girls and behaves like a young man in public, but at home he's allowed to be a child![/quote]
