[quote=Anonymous]No, it's not weird. I cuddle my eight year old DS and give a lot of hugs and kisses. We have an affectionate household, but we follow DS's lead- I notice as he gets older, he is backing away slowly, but is still a physically affectionate kid. The key OP is to enforce some modesty within the cultural bell curve (e.g. peeing with the door closed) and to follow your kids' lead-- if they back off a bit, so should you. There are times when I go to hug my son and I notice he's giving body language like he doesn't want a hug, so I respect that. We teach my son that his body is *his* and of he doesn't want to hug or hold hands that is his right and it's perfectly okay. [/quote]
