        I really don't understand why people get so upset or offended at the thought of children being taught that they own their bodies and should not have to give affection to someone they don't want to

        Sounds like they are thinking rationally. What's wrong with a handshake or just a simple 'Thank you for my gift.' ? No one should be forced to hug anybody. If an adult can't understand that, then maybe it's the adult that needs to learn some manners.

        Tell your daughters to join the Boy Scouts. They'll teach them how to be a man. ;)

        OMG! Now hugging kids is going to be looked at as a sexual offence. The moral minority is heading to extremes again. Stop it!

        Children should be taught to be respectful. But never forced to accept or give physical affection.

        Great advice. Girls, laird Ladies should never, ever do anything that makes them uncomfortable! Even if it's Uncle Edwin from grandma's side of the family...

        What ever happened to just raising your kids right to begin with? Teach your boys to Respect everyone, but especially girls! And teach your girls not to be afraid to say no! But it ultimately comes down to the "Golden Rule"! Do unto others!

        Girl Scouts, what a sad warning for parents to give their kids. If there's some crazy relative you're suspicious of, don't invite them and tell that relative why.

        It is wrong to give this a gender bias. Parents should be urged to think twice before they force their CHILD to hug relatives.
