Suggest Treatment For Behavior Issues In A 5 Year Old

Just curious, my 5 year old son likes to kiss me a lot. Not all the time, but sometimes when he wants to he just starts kissing me (on my hands, my arms, my cheeks, wherever he can get one planted) and he will just keep kissing even after I ask him nicely to stop, tell him it bothers me, that it s inappropriate after 1 or 2, etc. He doesn t stop until I get upset and tell him abruptly that that is enough! Is this normal? I feel bad for yelling at him for kissing me but he just doesn t stop!

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI...kids of this age usually imitate what they see or have seen. This is just a temporary phenomenon till he forgets that. I don't think you should worry. But the suggestion is that, keep an eye on what he is seeing on the television and also his friend's circle and school.
