SUBJECT: 7 yr old won't hug or kiss parents
Hi. I was wondering if anyone had this same problem. My son refuses to show affection and will avoid it at all cost! He used to be very loving and affectionate until he turned 4... If anyone tries to get near him for a hug or kiss, he will squirm and push away! I will sneak a kiss on the cheek at bed time and he wipes it away!!! Does this sound normal??????
