I think we've all most likely seen the studies on how crucial physical touch is, especially for children. I don't know about you, but I just LOVE hugging my son. I love the fun--grab them as you are playing or rough housing with them and giving them a big bear hug. I also love the --sitting in a rocking chair, blanket around us and him sweetly falling to sleep kind of hug. Those hugs are so important, and so are the cuddles after he's had to be in "time out" or has fallen down and gotten a boo boo. Healthy physical touch is a MUST when it comes to building a strong foundation with your children. So, go give your kid (s) a hug--just because & no matter how old they are--and let them know that they are loved and significant to you.
