KISSING CHILDREN ON
THE LIPS
I always joked about this often that no lip is a virgin, we
all have lost our lips-virginity during our neonatal/infancy period. As much as
this is most times a show of affection by adults or older children, I have seen
plenty drawbacks to it and want to share my own impression. Please note that it
is my take, I do not intend to impose it on anyone in any way but I'll still
share in case it makes sense to you and you may want to adopt it too.
IAM
NOT A FAN OF KISSING CHILDREN ON THE LIPS NO MATTER HOW RELATED THE CASE MIGHT BE.
Although,
there are customs that allow such [those are excused], we all would agree that
lip kissing is very erotic. A child may be kissed by relatives and innocently
see all lip kissing as purely familial love, however, with the rise in the
cases of pedophilia and child exploitation, this is one way I think they are
made further vulnerable while the perpetrators are doing it for selfish
reasons, a child wouldn't see it that way. Thus they are continually exposed to
this and the parents may never know about it and if they do, it may be quite
late.
Children are born as a blank book and learn whatever they pick up in their environment which in turn shapes them to become the adults they will be someday and because of that, one needs to be careful what you teach them. They pick up what they see far more than what they are told. My wife and I have agreed to kiss them on the cheek, forehead or on the hand. We want to show them that lip kissing is reserved for someone you have that erotic feeling for, they need to know boundaries and identify those who cross them or attempt to. I think with that it will help them know better what's wrong or right. Let's not even talk about sex education when they are a bit older [Na gist for another day]. So, with all this long story, I just want you all to know that 'THOU SHALT NOT KISS MY KIDS ON THE LIPS' when they come. We go fight, whoever you are. If we wey born dem no do am, you have no right.
I come in peace!!!

I share the same view. It is a good way to help children identify abnormal behaviors from potentially dangerous people. Better safe that sorry.
