Your Children Need Your Hugs To Feel They Exist

When a child is born, one of the first things he will feel is his mother’s skin and heart which gives him warmth, life, affection, emotions and the value of feeling loved.

A baby can be given a lot of things: food every day, a good crib, the best clothes and a beautiful bedroom.

However, what is essential and which will prodigiously promote his neuronal, physical and emotional development are the hugs, the caresses , the voices calling him by name …

Hugs are the roots that unite parents with their children, it is a wonderful way to recognize them, to give them strength, tenderness and confidence. By taking them in our arms, we make them parts of ourselves, but also of the world.

Unfortunately, in some orphanages babies are not so fortunate. They don’t get hugs or hugs, and as a result, they cry less and less, because they understand that no one will ever take care of them.

Generally, their development is slower, and they are not won over by the curiosity to discover the world around them, because they do not have this assurance which is nevertheless necessary for them if they want to go on an adventure and explode surroundings.

They lack this bond with an affectionate adult, the latter serving as their mediator in the search for stimuli, sensations …

It is vital for our children that we take care of this physical contact between them and us on a daily basis.

Hugs create neural connections, forge feelings, thoughts and affection, remove fears, doubts and uncertainties …

Whether they’re two days old or 12 years old, it doesn’t matter. Bring them closer to your heart whenever you can (even if they are already old enough to be reluctant).

Hugs will make our children develop healthily

This intimate skin-to-skin proximity between mother and infants during the first months of life promotes sensory stimulation.

This allows their proper development, strengthens their immune system, and regulates their temperature as well as their breathing.

Hugs and caresses are the first language children receive when they come into the world. Teach them the language of the heart, of your heart, and make this universality permeate their minds forever.

Even if generally, a great intimacy is woven between mother and child during the first months of childhood, fathers also have their role to play. It is a great way to further strengthen the development and confidence of the child.

Hugs build personality

If the child does not receive enough hugs or caresses from his parents, it will eventually affect his personality.

• Hugs are the most meaningful way to bond between parents and children.
• Because of this gesture of tenderness, the child feels loved. And a loved child is a child sure of himself, calm, who does not fear uncertainty, and who feels recognized.
• Parents are the child’s first social contact with the world. If this first contact is cold, uneven, or aggressive, they will be wary of the rest of social contexts as they grow older.
• Children need safe and stable affection during their childhood. Affection strengthens the bond and allows them to feel recognized.
• A child who feels recognized feels he belongs to his family, but also to the world. As a result, they will believe more in himself, and have a good perception of himself as well as his abilities-

Hugs relax them and invite them to see the world

A baby spends most of the day lying in his crib in a horizontal position.

When an adult hugs, cuddles and cradles him, he has the opportunity to see the world in front of him, calmly, and feeling loved. Have you ever thought about it?

There is no time more pleasant than these days when we begin to discover the world surrounded by the arms of our father and mother. Life is then revealed in a thousand forms and a thousand colors, as overwhelming as it is moving.

There is nothing more calming and satisfying than a hug. While adults need it to strengthen the bond, calm stress, or allay doubts, this need is even greater in children.

Crying babies, for example, are never unwarranted, and sometimes their tears are not due to hunger, cold or occasional discomfort.

They too crave affection, they too need your arms to forget this universal fear: that of loneliness and abandonment.

Don’t save on the hugs you give every day. They cost nothing, and have the strength and intensity of an entire universe.
