My nanny told me at music class he goes around to different moms and tries to sit in their laps too. She said they mostly all think it's cute except one mom who is not friendly and does not seem to like it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135500 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:58:53 +0000 heffalump 135500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it's adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135386 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:05:55 +0000 volksgirl64 135386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first few times I'd be a little weird but it would also be cute. My DD goes around her daycare trying to hug and kiss everyone goodbye. She kisses on the mouth though which makes me uncomfortable (germs) but I also don't want to discourage it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135374 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:00:12 +0000 Shutterbug 135374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's cute! If anything I'd only be a little concerned about stranger danger, but at 1 yr old, I don't think you have to address it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135318 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:20:07 +0000 banana 135318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I would LOVE a hug from any toddler. Would totally melt my heart!</p> <p>My LO was into kissing people on the cheek for a while and he used to go up to random people and kiss them on the cheek, even other little girls! I didn't want to discourage him from showing affection but I didn't want others to feel uncomfortable. It was just a phase though. Now he won't even give ME a kiss on the cheek. ;( I say enjoy it while it lasts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135164 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:49:02 +0000 Lozza 135164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok good. A colleague of mine (who also has a toddler in daycare) said that while she wouldn't mind, she'd think it was weird. So I was wondering if I should discourage him or pick him up and redirect him or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135148 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:36:25 +0000 Sweet T 135148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it was adorable! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135140 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:34:03 +0000 chopsuey 135140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaa I think it's cute. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135117 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:22:38 +0000 Grace 135117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, well I don't have kids yet and I still think it's super cute. Who wouldn't like getting a hug? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-likes-hugging-other-kids-moms#post-135094 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:08:00 +0000 Lozza 135094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is a year old and has started doing this thing where, if any mom (and sometimes dads too) crouches down to interact with their LO, MY LO likes to walk over and hug the mom. He'll do it with our friends (who all think it's cute... he'll just go over and kind of put his arms around them and lay his head on their shoulder for a minute), but he also does it to women at daycare when they're dropping off their kids. He doesn't cling or anything, he just goes over, does the head lean, and then backs off. I kind of figure that if you're at a daycare dropping off your own toddler, you can probably handle an unsolicited hug from someone else's toddler... but who knows. Would you mind if this happened to you with a kid you didn't really know, say at daycare dropoff or at a playground? </p>
