Mums fight back against controversial advice that kissing kids on the lips is 'too sexual' with pics of themselves with their kids

A few weeks ago, a child psychologist from Californian university UCLA, Dr Charlotte Reznick, said kissing children on the lips was too 'sexual' and asked parents to stop it as it is confusing for young children. Australian mothers have slammed the claim, saying 'it's perfectly natural and loving.' They further protested by sharing photos online of them kissing their children on the lips. See more photos after the cut..


Dr Reznick's  comments were originally sparked by an old photo of Hollywood actor Harry Connick Jr kissing his then eight-year-old daughter on the lips.

It's natural but for psychologists to be against it, the matter has to examined over and over again...... It doesn't change the price of garri in the market though

In my opinion it depends on the age of the child I think, toddlers and babies on the lips is fine

White ppl and their stupidity

When the kids are under 3 years of age, no problem, above 3, you've got to watch it.

They should go discover a cure for something.

There should be a age limit! The girl in the last pic is too 'big' to be kissed on the lips by her father...knowing white people *cough*

Walata said...

To me I fink it is nt wrong but if the child has grown more than 3years, the parents shud go with pecking abeg

Moniker said...

I think its ok initially. When a child goes past two years, its excessive. What happens when mummy or daddy is not around to kiss you? My 10k advice

Tell it as it is. said...

Then babies should not suck their mother's breast again as this has a sensual feeling to it too. Lol. Oyinbo sha.

Unknown said...

I kiss my baby, stop me if you can.

~D great anonymous!

that woman in the fourth picture really waited for the sun at the beach to make the picture look dramatic or how will I describe it look lovely so it would pain the nonsense doctor that said that. I think it is extremely cute to kiss your children. I feel like it makes them feel specially loved.

Adaobi u too dey misyarn Y?? Starting thinking like an ibo gal please we are learned nd full of wisdom.

I think some of these psychologists just say controversial things to make themselves popular but at times such gimmicks can back fire and this was one of them. Mothers have been kissing their kids since the dawn of civilisation, that means for thousands of years and the kids didn't come out dysfunctional, in fact kids like hitler, Genghis khan, atilla d hun and even idi amin, who didn't grow up with the loving presence of a mum became public enemy number 1 to humanity.

I THINK IT WAS WRONG , BECAUSE THE CHILD MAY GROW UP AND THINK IT IS A NORMAL THING TO DO WITH YOUR MOTHER, I DO NOT THINK THAT WHEN THE CHILD IS TWENTY YEARS , YOU WOULD STILL ALLOW HIM TO KISS YOU LIKE THAT.

SOME CHILDREN MAY WANT TO CONTINUE THE SAME KISSING , SO WHAT WOULD YOU DO ,?
WHEN HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND, WOULD YOU STILL BE KISSING YOUR CHILD LIKE THAT IN THE PRESENT OF HIS GIRLFRIEND AND SAY BECAUSE OF LOVE I MUST KISS YOU SEXUALLY .

I THINK YOU SHOULD STOP NOW.

It's not sexual but not advised because ppl can pass on herpes simplex virus to their children. Also if you are using your mouth for oral sex you should not be kissing your kids on the lips, that is just gross on every level.

I'm 35 & still kiss my parents one the lips including my Dad, i savour every moment I have with them,only people with perverted minds will think of such a bonding experience as sexual,I remember when I first got married & my husband was surprised as well,I actually felt sorry for him that he has never experienced what I see as one of the purest expressions of love,I wonder if the psychologist has children,I doubt it #my2cents

God says His Own Word is perverted by evil- minded people, how much less a kiss...
It's only wrong when intentions are evil after all it's still NOT A FRENCH KISS...!!!

I always kissed my mom on the lips as a child. I know some ppl that still do as adults.

onyeuwaoma said...

These things naturally fade away. My kids keep kissing me but by the time they are 5 upwards, they stop on their own..

onyeuwaoma said...

My children naturally would not want to kiss me again as they advance in age. Naturally, these things fade awsy with time.

onyeuwaoma said...

Babies are lovely and kisses to them are just rresistible. Mind you.

Unknown said...

It's natural, but I don't support the last pic
