child is present inside a mother’s womb, it is constantly wrapped in a warm amniotic fluid.
Hugging has been believed to simulate this fluid for the child. Hugging has also been used by child therapists to aid children that have experienced severe emotional trauma.
Though it is used with extreme caution and never more than the child will permit, hug therapy can aid a child in restoring their ability to trust people again. Touch therapy especially, has been used amongst children that have been sexually abused.
It has been proven that children that grow up in a household of hugging become more expressive and warm. Those children that do not grow up around hugs usually grow up to be very distant.
Hugging is considered a gesture of affirmation, and acknowledgement.
But when a child is becoming hug starved, they often start questioning as to whether or not they are loved.
Raising a child with a good self esteem is important. A person’s self esteem impacts their life on many different levels. It controls what their motivations are, how they think and feel, and most importantly, their judgment. Our self esteem is something that is constantly evolving.
Experts believe that the seed is planted during our early childhood and constantly changes with each and every social experience and interaction that we encounter.
That’s why it should be a parent’s highest priority to help their child gain a high self esteem. Children with a high self esteem will work much harder to keep anything bad from happening to them.
Providing your children with positive reinforcements is not enough in developing a higher self esteem. Love and understanding are also important. On the flip side, if you just love your child without giving them some kind of positive reward for good behavior, the child can begin to feel inadequate. It is a delicate balance that you, as a parent, must understand.
As you can see, raising a house of optimists isn’t a hard task for you to complete, it just takes a little bit of thought on how you can spin each situation. Practice keeping the word “no” out of your dialogue and challenge each other to think of different ways in which your family can show your love for one another each and every day.
