I wonder if there is any potential disorder with a 6 years old boy who as an expression of affection kisses his male classmates? Can I read anything on that topic? Thank you |

There is no answer at this time. |

My guess is there is no immediate cause for alarm. Calmly council the child repeatedly that some or most of the boys will find his kissing offensive even if they see him kissing the few who don't object. His peers will likely soon convince him that you are giving good advice. Neil |

I do not wish to frighten you. This might not apply to your son. I am gay. Although I did not know what "gay" was when I was in kindergarten, I knew I had "special" feelings for other boys. I also knew that it was not socially acceptable to kiss them. You son could possibly, potentially be gay. This is not a disorder. Do not attempt to "deprogram" him as this will cause more harm than good and he will resent you for trying. As suggested by neilzero, do instruct him that it is unaccptable to kiss other boys without their express consent. Then again, this could just be a phase. |

It depends too how "kissy" his family is - if they are a family who normally communicate with lots of kissing and cuddling then this may be a natural expression of affection for him - six is very little to be making assumptions about sexuality. As Neil says, the other kids will quickly teach him what is acceptable to them socially. |
