Don’t make your kids kiss granny: Outcry as sex education chiefs say a high-five or wave…

Getting a reluctant child to give an elderly relative a kiss often requires some gentle persuasion.

But parents who force their sons and daughters to give granny a peck on the cheek may be doing them harm, it was claimed yesterday.

For instead of helping a child learn about showing affection, it may blur the boundaries of what is acceptable when it comes to physical contact, according to Lucy Emmerson, coordinator of the Sex Education Forum.

She even claims that encouraging a youngster to blow a kiss, high-five or wave to a relative instead will help them avoid future sexual exploitation. Children need to learn from the start about the importance of consent and that “their bodies are their own”, she says. …

Only lesbians can come up with this.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that "Lucy Emmerson" is of that persuasion. OR, she doesn't have kids. Or both.

It’s not kissing your grandmother, it’s forcing them to kiss gran if they don’t want to

I completely agree with this

Don’t force any kid to kiss anyone they don’t want to kiss

I don’t see it as “sexual exploitation”, but such rejection as a strong biological imperative against incest.

Children inherently do not want even pseudo-sexual contact with their family, because the outcomes of actual sexual contact over generations are self-destructive.

In those peoples who do not have such biological prerogatives truly awful things result. This impulse has been overridden in some Islamic cultures especially, and it gets really ugly.

“But it’s just a kiss!”, doesn’t work as an argument, because it crosses the line of affectionate intimacy, as least as far as biology is concerned.

The context they’re using is way out of whack.

“Year 5” in this context normally means fifth grade, not age 5...

But schools who order girls to ask other girls to kiss them is probably fine
