Too much hughs!!!

My son of 27 months old is a very loving and friendly toddler. He likes to hugh!!! too much I think. He just started his school and when everyone arrives he is the greatter! Huhgs and kisses. I feel a little weird to see other parents looking at him like if it that is ok??. We hugh him a lot and kiss. He even think kissing in the mouth is the only way bc when the 3 of us hugh and kiss each etheir he sees my hubby doing in the mouth and he thinks is the only way!!! We are telling him to kiss on the chic but hopeffully soon will understand. It is normal?? Is he missing more love??? Gwad we say We love you a lot and hugh him a lot. He is the first grandchild so he has a lot of love around. Please hope someone can give me any advice

Try being repeditive, when teaching him not to give everybody hugs. I don't know how well he talks but maybe get him to start asking if it is ok. Maybe teach him something to replace his giving hugs, when he starts to hug gently pull him away and say hi five and he can slap hands when he sees people. I don't think anything is wrong, he probably just got use to the reaction of people when he hugged them and so he wants to make people happy, the same idea goes with my daughter. She pokes the dog and it runs away, well because she made it run away she thinks it is funny and does it over and over. They just get used to the ideas of something they do having a reaction and they like the fact that it is something they did. Just remeber if you are going to try and make him stop be repeditive:)
