Shownotes

Are you a hugger? Becks is, Claire isn’t (she just doesn’t feel the need all the time!)! 

 

We spoke about: 

  • Our own experiences with hugging and showing affection. 
  • How to approach situations with children and hugging – should it be an expectation that your child hugs people? 
  • If not, what should you do? 
  • Having conversations with people about the fact your child can say no they don’t want a hug and when to do it. 
  • Kissing little ones and reasons we don’t kiss newborn babies (or you could kiss their feet!). 
  • Teaching children life skills so they know the importance of saying no if something doesn't feel right – that their body is their body and it’s OK. 
  • How showing affection can be done in many different ways.  
  • The pandemic and how we weren’t allowed to hug! 
  • 5 Love Languages and how helpful they are for all of us. 
  • The power of the Disney Hug. 
  • NSPCC and the PANTS rule.
