This is an important reminder as we go into the festive season, which is filled with get togethers with families and friends.
Children need to learn that they have autonomy over their bodies, they have the right to give affection only to who they feel comfortable. More importantly, they have the right to say no to giving/receiving affection when they don't feel comfortable.

Your duty as a parent/caregiver is to empower your children, not appease other adults. Let's keep our kids safe and allow them the power to choose.

Validation and Affirmation

In our busy lives it is often very easy to forget how important it is to take a moment to affirm and validate our little people. These moments are priceless to them, it only takes a minute, but the effects will last a lifetime.
