"Our teenage daughter just returned from a week away at camp. As I awaited her return, and our hug, I realized that hugging our kids is a privilege. As a grieving parent, I should have already really learned this lesson. But any parent that has to travel away from home for business, or who is separated from their children to take care of an elderly relative, knows this too." ~ from Michelle Nichols at Hug Your Kids Today.
'Create a hug day when you intentionally think of all the good things she has done. By pointing it out, you are focusing on the good behavior which is the one that will be magnified and in the end will create good feelings within. And you in turn will realize what a beautiful and precious child you have in her.' ~ from Dynamic Minds 101
'Of course this hug therapy works both ways. When my son would become over tired or be having a rough day, all it seemed to take was a few minutes of my time and a nice long hug and he would be off and laughing in no time.' ~ from Parenting Help Me
