Too old for cuddles?

Hi, my daughter, Sarah, is 12.5 years old (only child). She's suddenly stopped wanting a cuddle on the sofa of an evening and kisses before off to school have also disappeared. When I challenged her she said "oh Mum, I am nearly 13.....", so what? I'm finding it quite hurtful..... is this normal behaviour?

I wouldn't worry to much sweetie, I think she is just at an age when she is thinking about being more independent and thinking that mummy cuddles are a bit babyish. Don't you worry though, as soon as she has a bad day, is feeling down or a bit insecure I'm sure she won't want anything other than a cuddle from you! x

Hi hun, how's it all going now? You feeling any better abou tit all? Big hugs to you :-) x
