Comments

I've got a 36 year old and she still likes a cuddle.My 17 year old granddaughter would think it very strange if when we see her,the first and last thing we did was'nt to give her a kiss and a cuddle.
I myself, came from parents who never kissed and cuddled their children.I promised myself that I'd never be like that and never have.
In my opinion the answer to your question is your'e never too old for a cuddle.We all need one somedays,no matter how old we become.0 -

Children are never too old for cuddles! You just need to follow their lead - if they want cuddles give them, if not respect their right to decide. If a child needs physical contact in the form of a cuddle, you are not meeting their psychological needs by refusing.It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.0

I agree with everyone who says that a child is NEVER to old for cuddles. Cuddles is showing your love and no one is too old to be loved.“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson

Never ever too old for cuddles- we all need them!!
I'll never forget my Mum one day years ago seeing a teenage boy who lived next door but had been in trouble with his Dad and not been home for days. She marched across the field to him and opened her arms and he hugged her in front of all his supposedly "ard" mates.

We have huggles, lots of huggles - a cross between a hug and a cuddle and I hope we will have them 4 ever
Wish I still had a parent to cuddle - at least just once more
Wish I'd known that my last cuddle with my mum was going to be my last - I wouldn't have let her go
