In the aftermath of a TikTok video posted by Emma, a prominent figure that triggered discussions regarding the normalization of kissing children on the lips, Pastor Sue Munene, renowned for her catchphrase “Twa Twa,” has presented a fresh perspective on this delicate issue.
Addressing her TikTok audience on December 3, Pastor Sue Munene underscored the significance of steering clear of physical contact with children’s private parts, notably their lips. She urged parents to refrain from normalizing such actions, contending that doing so might convey mixed messages to children regarding appropriate physical boundaries and intimacy.
Pastor Sue expressed apprehensions about the potential repercussions when children, accustomed to such familial physical intimacy, might seek or accept similar gestures from individuals outside the family circle, potentially exposing them to the risk of abuse.
Specifically focusing on the lips and breasts as private parts warranting utmost respect, Pastor Sue emphasized the potential psychological impact such actions could have on a child’s comprehension of appropriate physical contact.
Furthermore, she highlighted the significance of safeguarding sensitive areas like the thighs for girls and other vulnerable regions for boys, emphasizing that these areas could be arousing and render children susceptible to inappropriate touch.
Pastor Sue’s message serves as a poignant reminder for parents to exercise mindfulness in establishing boundaries with their children and to steer clear of normalizing physical contact that could blur the lines between appropriate and inappropriate touch.
