What do you define as clinging? The kids are much older now but still enjoy our company. They never hung on us like monkeys though. I mean...is a nursing child considered clingy? How about one who cries when you leave the house but fine 2 minutes later? Some amount of clingy-ness is normal...heck, I know of some grown men and women who won't leave the house...mommy and daddy feed them and do the laundry and pay their car insurance...that's clingy!!!

My kids all still cling to me

I still cling to my mother and occasionally my father

Are they/we supposed to stop????

I know what you mean..

My first dd never was clingy...Very independant from the time she could crawl...Never wanted to be held and just loved for us to 'chase' her...My 2nd dd (who just turned 3) is VERY clingy still...She is just now starting to ease up a bit...only a bit. But I tell ya, I am WAY OVER IT already. My 2nd is the polar opposite of my 1st.

ETA...I am talking about separation anxiety in my small kids.

Well, this poll is not scientific

Parents with younger children do know a point when a child gets less clingy. Other parents with still younger children keep wondering just when that would happen to them.

Parents with older children have still more wisdom They define clinginess differently. So it's interesting to know their point of view, too.

All in all, I hope we'll get to know the median age of "no-clinginess", whatever the definition of it is for an individual...

Mine is 13 almost 14...still has me tuck her in every night and wants to sleep with us on the weekends....practically sits on top of me on the couch....but at the same time she has no problem taking off to other countries as an exchange student for weeks and flies often alone to see family and friends on the side of the country.....not sure if she is clingy or not...I guess just chooses when to be clingy...I have a feeling this will never change or at least I hope not!

everyone's different honestly. Mine does partly because he's mentally disabled and acts far younger than he is but he also has no friends, so mom and dad are it for him. He may never outgrow it.
