He loves loves to be touched mainly by me but others too. Like hand holding or any physical touch. And he loves to touch others too. He'll press my nose stroke my cheeks .... Sounds like sensory to me but had OT already for physical weakness and great provider said he reached all goals and he dismissed my sensory concerns. My concern is really Will he ever outgrow this desire or will he only learn with time that's it's not age appropriate but still desire it? Is there anything I can do about it? Am I feeding his weakness by giving him lots of hand holding time?

It's fine! It's adorable to have a touchy feely little guy. Don't worry about what will be when he's 22. Just give him the loving touch he needs now.

His love language may be physical touch.
Give him all the cuddles you can while he's still young and wants it. Kids usually grow out of it as tehy get older.

Thanks for reassuring it's normal and will probably outgrow. He's just so overdoing it like telling me to hold my hand certain positions while he rubs it specific way... Or loves to bite down or grind his teeth while his chin rests on my hand or feet...

He’s only 4 years old. I doubt he’ll be trying to hold your hand when he’s 17! Boys are often very affectionate, especially when they’re little. Then they hit 13 and refuse to even peck their mothers on the cheek goodnight! If you try to discourage him, you’ll risk messing him up - he shouldn’t be shamed for wanting to show his mother or his friends that he loves them! Wanting to show or receive love is not a “weakness”. Be glad that you’re raising a child with a lot of love to give.

It does sound like sensory seeking I would find a OT who specializes in this, but I would give them all the hugs and cuddles and enjoy it while it lasts
