The Best Refuge For Your Child Is Your Hug

A hug is the best refuge there can be. If the hug is very tight, it conveys confidence, security; if it’s gentle, you can feel the tenderness, the warmth, the affection… Because hugs provide refuge and are sincere, no one hugs with hypocrisy. That’s why we decided to dedicate a space to them on our blog.

The hug that welcomes you in good times and bad

To overcome adversity we need the hug of the person who matters most and we love the most in the world: our child. Every mother knows that a hug from

soothes, rejoices, and fills the soul. When we are depressed, a hug lifts our spirits, and if for a moment we feel as fearful as those little children we once were, those delicate little arms that can only surround us chase away any fear and bring us back to being brave women again.

So it is with them. No one knows exactly why a mother’s chest is more comfortable than anyone else’s.

The hug that welcomes you in good times is an accomplice, it is one more member of the luck that is to celebrate, it provides an extra happiness.

The hug that protects in bad times offers unconditional support, forgiveness above all values, it can banish the pain, make the tears dry and finally relax the afflicted person.

The best refuge for your child is your hug

Mom, the best refuge for your child is a hug, because hugs show love, support, and protection. They provide emotional stability to your children who are so warm and

affection

need.

When you hug your child, through body language you are telling him that you are by his side.

If he is going through a painful or distressing situation like the loss of a loved one, parental divorce, social rejection, bullying, or any other difficult situation, of course your hugs will strengthen him!

He needs the warmth his arms offer to grow healthy, be happy, overcome pain and heal. It’s okay if you support him with words and explain to him how to be resilient, but don’t deny the friction of the skin, get in touch with his body temperature, give him that “human warmth that humans need to stay human.”

When to hug your child?

There is no day, time, or particular situation to hug your child, because every moment is ideal for such a gesture. However, there are special situations in which hugs must be present. For example in the following situations:

• In the farewells every morning when he goes to nursery or school, whether at home or in those same places;
• When he comes home after the

  routine

  daily, after spending all those hours apart;

• Upon waking. Every morning is ideal for hugging your child. If he’s sleepy and doesn’t want to get out of bed, your hug will wake him up, or if he runs away, a good hug will convince him to go straight to the bathroom to get ready;

• When he is sad, because he had a fight with his best friend, or if he lost a toy, or if in a fall he scratched his knees, or because he didn’t get the desired grade in a test;
• Whenever your football team wins the match;
• When looking at pictures of when he was a little baby, and remembering fun moments from that time, etc…
• When they are lying in bed, ready to read a story, sing or talk about any topic waiting for sleep to come.

Mom, give your child as many hugs as you give milk and bread at every breakfast. as you provide 

foods

, also have to provide hugs. No expression of affection for your child is too much. Take your child into a hug to make him feel loved and safe today and forever.
