Is it normal to kiss children on the lips?

Depends.It depends

Some families kiss children on the lips as a casual sign of affection; others prefer cheek or forehead kisses. What matters most is that the child is comfortable and their boundaries are respected.

It varies by family and culture. A quick, affectionate kiss on the lips isn’t automatically sexual or harmful, but plenty of people find it uncomfortable or simply aren’t used to it, so opinions differ.

Pay attention to the child’s cues and let them say no without teasing or pressure. As they grow, their preferences may change; a hug, cheek kiss, or wave works just as well if they’d rather not kiss.
