Complete twaddle.

Another 'expert' has advised that grandchildren should not kiss their grandparents but give a high five or wave. Kissing us oldies can cause confusion as to who they should kiss!

Yes, sounds a bit strange as reported, if the report is accurate. I don't think writing for the "Sex Education Forum" makes her an "education chief" though.
There is clearly a serious point in there about unwanted sexual advances. It sounds like a rather muddled statement taken out of context to me.
My grandchildren hate it when all my neighbours expect them to raise their faces to be kissed, as all French children do.
