Please, please, please! Hug your kids every single day and tell them that you love them! Let that be your
nightly routine. Let them go to sleep feeling loved and good about themselves, even if you have been fighting.
I have a seventeen-year-old son who hugs every- day.
Every night before he goes to bed we do a devotional together and pray. I will continue this with him as
long as he is under my roof. I have showered him with love his whole life, as well as my family, and he is
one of the most loving kids I have ever seen. Every human being needs physical touch, especially young
children and teenagers. We need 7 hugs a day to be healthy. Each hug we receive rtuses our hemoglobin (血
红素). And as one of the other parents had commented, so many teenagers that do not get any physical touch
at all from their parents will seek to get it in inappro priate ways. We only have them for just a little while, they
will soon be gone and we won't be able to show them our love then! Shower them every single day! You will
never regret it and they will always feel loved!
My nephew, who is like a son to me, started to become embar rassed at around age 13 for me to hug him
in public. I would only get to see him on the weekends and the first time he pulled away we were at a baseball
game and there were people everywhere. I just grabbed and hugged even harder when he tried to pull away
and said" I don't care if you like it or not! I love you so much and I will hug you every time I see you! "He
turned very red but smiled.
Dr. Dobson says that our teenagers need our love and care e- yen more as they grow older because of all
of the self-doubt that the media puts on them to be perfect. Make them feel loved every day! If you don't do
it, who will? It may be uncomfortable at first but I promise it will just become second nature if you do it every
day!
