How many times?

I am not sure how many times a day I do this, although I know it is quite a lot! Sometimes my kids get embarrassed, not so much the littler ones but the eight year old gets a little embarrassed. He will not let me kiss him at school no more which is quite amusing! I think that the amount of loving they get is probably enough for them, but if they need more they only have to come to me and they know they will get more!

I think it is such a wonderful thing to hear that a parent is showing that much affection and attention toward a child. I do hug and kiss my son throughout the day. He will be five in a matter of two weeks. I love him very much and I think it is a good practice to show our children how much we care. Doing this shows them so much and they will always remember the love they received. My son doesn't seem to mind me hugging him in public. At least not now.

I hug and kiss them anytime I want to or they ask, definitley before bed and first thing in the morning they are only little so want cuddles a lot, im all for making the most of it before they dont want to cuddle me anymore!!!

When my kids were younger, I couldn't count the times I hugged and kissed them! Now they are teenagers (14 and 21) and they don't like it. My oldest son hugs me everytime he comes over, but the 14 year old always says "Don't touch me!" So now I mainly hug and kiss my dog. Lol! (kiss him on the head)

I hug and kiss my children a lot. I make sure they feel all the love I have for them. They are still young so they dont get embarrased when they are hugged in front of anyone. I hug and kiss them so often, I cant even count how many times. And I miss doing it when I get to work away from them for 8 hours a day. In cases like that a phone call and flying kiss will do. oh I love my kids so much.

I try to hug my daughter all the time but now that she is getting older she is more selective in the hugs she gives back. God forbid I give her a kiss in front of her friends. All I can say is cherish all the hugs and kisses you get when they are little because then the go through a "I'm too big for that phase."

OMG, so many times. We are very close. I don't care if anyone is around, including their friends. I'm not sure they're old enough to care either yet. I hope they don't go through that stage, but I'm sure they will eventually. Oh well, I guess that just means I have to hug and kiss on them even more now so I'll be able to get through it then.;) Toys of all kinds, for all ages: www.comeplaytoday.com

I couldn't tell you how many times a day I hug and kiss them. Especially the baby. He just turned a year and he is so adorable lol. I pretty much hug and/or kiss them every time they come close to me! My oldest is only 5, so so far they aren't embarrassed by me hugging or kissing them. I don't know what I'll do if they ever won't let me.

I cannot count how many times But I kiss them when: 1. I wake them up to go to school 2. Before going to the school when I sent them 3. I come home from the office 4. Before they go to bed 5. While we were playing 6. When they get a 100 score in their quizzes With my kids' ages 7,5 and 2 they are not yet embarassed when I kiss or hug them. It is normal for us to kiss and hug one another. Hugging and kissing is an expression to show love and care for them. It makes the kids feel that they are loved by their parents and thus, will increase their sense of belongingness, love for the family, caring for each member.

Its a high number, but less since he went back to school obviously. I definitely hug and kiss him every morning when he wakes up, usually a cpl of times, and now when he comes home from school..but when he wasnt in school..it was all through the day. We get in the car and sometimes before he gets strapped into his booster seat one of us will ask for a kiss, or when hes in the cart at the grocery store, he will reach and hug me...so its all through the day...its a great feeling to have all that unconditional love both for him and for myself. I will hug and kiss him in front of his friends and most times he is ok with it, but if its in front of his older boy cousins or older boys such as brother of his friends, he will shy away sometimes, but that has only been in the last few wks i have noticed that.
