Don't worry about it. When they are 5, they think because giving others a kiss means giving them caree, love and friendly. You kiss your daughter 2. :)

It's perfectly normal, children do it all the time! Don't worry about it!
-
Yes, it is very normal behaviour and personally would be encouraged. To a child that young kissing is a sign of friendship and an expression of thanks.

Absolutely normal. When you are 5, a kiss doesn't mean the same thing as it does when you are a teen/adult. It is a sign of innocent affection. You can have a talk with your child to explain why it may not be appropriate at school, etc...but don't give the impression that it is "wrong" or "bad", because it isn't. It's a completely natural thing. When you consider the way a lot of other kids act (punching, biting, etc) you should be proud of your friendly little girl!

What if the child hides it from parents about kissing and keep it a secret? Is that still innocent? I think it is cute and innocent when they hold hands and play together but kissing parents are different than kissing their "girl" or "boy" friends. If as parents we don't put some kind of limit to their actions, what are we here for? Are we not suppose to guide them? At what age do we think sex is "just innocent" act of affection? Just my two cents...I'm an old fashion gal. I told my kids if it happens, fine, please let me know but I think they are too young for kissing.

its normal. my nephew would do that in preschool last year i would get an earful from the teacher every time. in a few months the kids will think the other sex has cuddes and will not want to be touched by them.

totally normal. she will eventually grow out of it and stop.
-
She should grow out of it soon, but if not talk to her about not doing that as it will lead to the wrong thoughts.
