Affection.
Child speak – I need you to show me your love through hugs, cuddles, sitting on your knee and you telling me that you love me.
Affection is a state of mind associated with a feeling or type of love. It can be the warmth that we show those we care about and the break through of physical and emotional barriers. A child who is massaged, tickled, swung safely into the air by his parents safe hands to be caught in their arms is likely to be securely attached and more emotionally healthy.
To show affection in the form of a hug is also a healing therapy. The nurturing touch of a hug builds trust and a sense of safety. So, hug the ones you love today folks and start this week off with some affection!
Be well 🙂
