Cultivating Joy in Children: Hugging
Episode description
Let's talk about how hugging can cultivate JOY in children.
Hugging gets our oxytocin and serotonin chemicals flowing which provide a lot of benefits for our bodies.
To give us even more benefit, make your hugs last a minimum of 6 seconds. That's when all our happy chemicals really start flowing.
What does hugging do for children:
1. Helps kids grow
2. Keeps kids healthier
3. Stops temper tantrums
4. Builds Resilience
5. Make kids JOYFUL

For us in general hugging:
1. Releases stress
2. Builds trust and safety
3. Boosts Dopamine
4. Increases self esteem
5. Helps reduces self-esteem
I share some great quotes people have said about quotes but this is by far the best one:
- “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” - Virginia Star
Can you provide this many hugs a day for a minimum of 6 seconds?
Imagine the JOY that would fill your soul up as well as the people receiving the souls!
