Hug your child. It does wonders for a child’s cognitive and emotional development. #shorts

Studies show we need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth. Hugs do wonders for a child’s cognitive and emotional development.

I carve out time for Jedi and I to have cuddle time every morning and night. It usually involves me hugging him for long periods of time while I sing him a song. Afterwards, I tell him how much I love him. This has been a norm for us since he was 2.

Benefits of hugging your children many times a day:

1️⃣ It helps them feel safe

2️⃣ It makes them smarter

3️⃣ It’s a natural stress reliever

4️⃣ It promotes healthy self esteem

5️⃣ It helps in discipline

6️⃣ It teaches them to develop empathy

7️⃣ It promotes better health

8️⃣ It keeps everyone happy
