KateSpade: why would that be an issue. Its a kiss, not sex. children should have health attitudes towards what a marriage should be and proper affection.

Adaeze003: Lol! Like they dont see it on tv(even in cartoons). Peck on the lip is fine but a french kiss will just gross em out like eew..

djeezy: Train up a children well and kissing in front of them would not have any bad effect on them but a simple perk would be preferable if you still think it will impair them.

freecocoa: My parents were the first people I ever saw kiss, it wasn't french kiss with tongue and saliva though, they used to kiss lightly in our presence and we(my siblings and I) turned out alright as far as I can tell.

Flytefalls: I fully intend to, sorry kids.

binger: I see nothing wrong with a light kiss on the lips or a peck...in fact,it promotes affection and harmony the same way fighting and arguing in front of ur kids promotes discord and disaffection.

uj_sizzle: What difference does it make when they watch it on tv and see people do it in public?

If you keep thinking everything your childrent see is going to affect them negatively, then you might wanna consider locking them up in a box.

OCTAVO:
I disagree with the bolded.

omotola1: What they see on TV might not influence them as much as what they see their parents do.
Parents are the first direct role models of children.
Kids learn fast from parents.
That‘s why parents must be very careful and mindful of whatever they do in the presence of their kids.

uj_sizzle:
they learn from both parents and society. I never saw my parents kiss in my presence, i saw it on tv and was eager enough to practise it...you can't rule out the media.
I think it depends to a large extent on their sense of morality; 'Kissing is good but not until you're older'
'you shouldn't take beer till u are 18+' etc.

If you don't teach them right then i suppose letting them watch action flicks, American thrillers and buying them toy guns should turn them to serial killers.

carefreewannabe:

good answer.

apart from that, what's wrong with teaching them that married couples show each other love this way?

I saw my parents kissing as a child and I liked the atmosphere of love in the house. It didn't make me kiss my siblings or other children, though.
