    We hug here, no kisses. Sometimes I have a young 3-year old (the youngest age that I take) and it takes them a couple of weeks before they remember that we don't kiss here. I just say, "save kisses for mom and dad!"

      We always say "kisses are for family, hugs are for friends" it works well. Most of my kids give hugs when they leave. If a friend doesn't want one they say "no thank you." I only give hugs if they ask first.

        I had one little boy who wanted to hug and kiss the others each day and it turned into an annoying wrestling match because the hug turned into a way to start playing. I will say I don't encourage it but I don't discourage it either. Because I have mostly boys it's better if it's held to a minimum.

          One of my DCK's was playing in the yard yesterday when one of my DCM's (not theirs) showed up.

          DCK asked mom if she wanted a hug.

          At least DCK asked.... ::
