4. Getting In Between Parents

Children like to be spending time with their parents and, in their younger years, they tend to be closer to closer to their mothers than they are to their fathers. Being with both parents is often even better, after all, it is twice the fun, but boys may not always be comfortable with both parents being together.

Some boys will have a habit of wanting to get in between their parents, especially when they are kissing or hugging. When the family goes out for a meal together, boys might sometimes want to keep their parents separated by sitting in between them at the table.
