The subjects of hugs is interesting - probably needs its own thread!

I can remember hearing somewhere a few years ago that parents should never be the one to first "break" or end a hug with a child. It also mentioned that children need lots of hugs every day (can't remember the number that was mentioned but I remember thinking "wow, I thought I hugged my children alot, but now I'm not so sure!")

I immediately tried the unbroken hug, found it wonderful and have used it ever since. I never cease to be amazed how long a child likes to be hugged before they decide it is enough! I have a 20 year old daughter and a 17 year old son and both love hugs just as much now as they did when younger!

Great way of releasing tension, showing love and affection, grieving, and oh so many more things!

Interesting topic!
