Question

I looked at Shulhan Arukh Even ha-Ezer 21 and it doesn't say anything about grandfather and granddaughter or grandmother and grandson. It seems that no grandparent is permitted to kiss the grandchild of the opposite sex. Am I missing something.

Chelkat Mechokek on the left side of that Shulchan Aruch #10. Beit Shmuel on the right side #14. And that is pretty much the consensus. Sorry! Often when I refer to Shulchan Aruch, I forget to be specific. I apologize. AA
