[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't want to discourage DS from being affectionate because he really means this as a sign of love for the dog, nothing abusive. But I will work with him on understanding that dogs don't like to be hugged. [/quote] It's obvious you're a FTM. Your DS doesn't need to understand dogs don't like to be hugged. He need to understand that he can't hug dogs - period. Prohibiting him (not 'discouraging') him from hugging the dog will in no way reduce his affection, it's establishing healthy boundaries. [/quote] WTF? Do you also try and get your kid to 'understand' he should be grateful so he'll say thank you? No! You make your kid say 'thank you' because that's what they're supposed to do. Understanding comes when the kid is developmentally capable of understanding. This is no different. [/quote]
