A mother's hug works wonders

Or why is it important to hug our children?

Whatever a child has experienced outside of home, while in kindergarten or school, or simply while playing with the children in the neighboring yard, a warm mother's hug is the best defense against everything that children face outside his native home.

This is true both for very young children and for adolescents, but with particular force for teenagers, even when they themselves behave in a particularly cool and reserved way towards their parents, and especially towards their mothers.

This is what happens to children when they receive the necessary attention and warmth, but first of all when they receive the simplest thing - cordial and warm a mother's hug:

A mother's hug works wonders

A hug is an excellent way to release negative emotions. It can stop tears before they flow, brighten the face with a smile, calm and even completely remove the consequences of an unpleasant experience or emotion
It is also an act of sharing. A cuddled child is several times more likely to be completely frank with their parent and to share more about the things that happen to them that make them happy or upset than children who rarely have physical contact with their mothers are.
A hug is a form of physical closeness and evidence of acceptance and goodwill. She can relieve the child's emotional tension in just a few seconds and restore his mental balance.
Pre-teen girls coped much more confidently with the stress of an upcoming date or public appearance if they had previously been hugged by their mothers, compared to their peers who had not received a previous hug.
Girls who had physical contact in the form of a hug with their mothers generally coped more successfully with every single challenge in their daily lives.
An interesting fact is that girls who have never been hugged by their mothers do not feel the need for support and therefore do not consciously seek it. They also cope, but more difficult. More often they are insecure, closed and even hostile towards others.
A hug is a sign of love and affection. Children who receive it regularly grow confident, independent, stable and much more determined in their relationships with their peers, loved ones, friends and relatives.

A mother's hug can really do wonders. Hugging our child, regardless of his age, with an occasion, and preferably without, is proof that he is meaningful and important to us. With this most simple and elementary human gesture, we prove affection and love. Our children need this evidence daily and continuously.
