I watch two girls who are 5 and 7, the 5 year old happily does but the 7 year old hates it. But the 5 year old has always been more affectionate. At 9 or so I feel like it definitely dwindles though no matter what. Sweetly though, most kids still will when they need that extra assurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-kids-stop-holding-your-hand#post-1664629 Thu, 29 May 2014 08:05:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1664629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on their personality! My friend has a 9 yr old and he still holds her hand and sits on her lap - whereas her 7 year old wont do either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-kids-stop-holding-your-hand#post-1664613 Thu, 29 May 2014 08:02:50 +0000 mrbee 1664613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just realized that this will be a sad day for me... </p>
