Self esteem injection
After talking about security, inevitably it is necessary to do it about self-esteem, and it is that feeling supported and protected, self-confidence grows without being able to avoid it. They become beloved children and with more courage to give their opinion, decide and act without fear of being wrong. Because if it doesn’t come out perfect, nothing happens, they know that you learn and our love will continue there no matter what happens.
Energy multiplies
A hug is loaded with love on both sides. It makes us feel better immediately and is an incredible energy exchange. The affective bond between parents and children is reinforced by increasing their trust and closeness. Sometimes you don’t need to talk, just let yourself be hugged and feel that current of unconditional tenderness.

This has positive repercussions for the whole family but especially for children, who from babies feel calm and relaxed receiving affection in the form of a hug and they become stable and peaceful children, who rarely despair and if they do so they immediately find comfort and understanding. It is much easier for them to regain internal balance if they lose it due to a tantrum. They channel their anger and transform their emotions through physical contact.
