[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes. Kids sometimes go through phases where they don't want to be hugged in certain situations (like in front of friends or at school). I respect that and will ask in those situations. But we have lots of hugs at home with no official permission. We do have a rule in our family that if anyone doesn't like any kind of physical touch they can say so and it has to stop immediately even if it's affectionate. I think this is important to teach kids about respecting consent. It can be hard to acclimate to because like DH and I grew up with tickling and roughhousing in our families. But it's worth acclimating to and now we don't really think about it. [/quote]
