Can we just cut back on all this mandatory hugging going on...c’mon..not everyone likes to be in close contact with other human beings...and there’s nothing wrong with that!

I remember adults’ sense of entitlement to hold me, kiss me, touch me when I was young. If I protested I was a bad child. This is not healthy and is a blatant disregard for a child’s right to privacy and their own body.

Kids aren't used to be touched anymore because all they do is text. Sad

I was like this decades before texting was a thing. Many were.

Little Miss 5 granddaughter may or may not allow me to hug. For me it's her call and I accept that. Further, she is strong willed

But growing up, we all hated hugs from relatives. Especially, fat ones.

I hate hugs as an adult, leave children alone if they don’t want one. Hug your damn self if you want one so badly.

Prepare your kids (and
#relatives, if need be),#communicate, set#boundaries, explain expectations and respect the personal space of#children while also teaching them to respect the emotional realities of others. Polite behavior need not include close physical contact.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Most children have good instincts ... respect them ... respect their rights ... and remember that they are people too and may have an off day ... not everyone feels the need to be touched all the time ...
