[quote=Anonymous]I think that you are setting these children up for great failure in the future. Not everyone is going to ask them before they are touched and if they are not used to that and they will not know how to respond. If my son is upset about something and I go in for a hug he feels comfortable enough to say I don't want to be touched right now... I respect that. Sometimes he'll say I don't want to hug when he is mad and I say, is that your anger talking or do you really not want one?..... Sometimes he says he really would like one. Another times he says no he wants to be left alone. For respecting another person's bodily autonomy, but you also need to give them the tools to survive in life. [/quote]
