3-4 years

My 5 yr old still does this as he is a very affectionate boy. Its not that I see anything super wrong but I think it sometimes makes the other person uncomfortable. I actually come from a family that is not super affectionate (mostly air kisses with some hugs hello/goodbye) so its great to see my son much more comfortable with displays of affection. But do think the lip kissing other adults (besides parents or grandparents up to a point) should end when he is in preschool.

Never star...

Not a big fan of kids lip kissing anyone. If it accidentally kinda lands there that's perfectly fine but I am of the school that the intended destination should be the cheek. I am even OK with the tummy, neck, arms and loooove kiddie feet but am really not a fan of lip kissing

Never stop...

I don't have kids yet but when I do, I wouldn't discourage it. They eventually figure out how the world works through social interactions. With all the hate in the world, kissed should be encouraged.
