Book Review: 5 star Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a health care professional and bought this book in 1983! I just bought another copy last weekend to give to a dear friend. I have given it as gifts for 20 years.
So many people struggle with touch. Touch conveys love and compassion. So many people struggle with receiving love because you have to be open and vulnerable. I was one of those people when I was 20 something. I have since learned that receiving love is a wonderful thing to receive in life and often, it is received with a hug. We all want acceptance, understanding and love. A sincere hug conveys that.
This book discusses the "Ethics and Rules" of hugs. Of note, permission should always be asked first (rule #2 in the book). If a hug is ever uncomfortable, the receiving individual has the opportunity to say "no" or "I'll pass". Individuals who say "yes" and mean "no", hopefully have relationships they value to learn from feedback regarding how to say "yes" when they mean "yes" and "no" when thay mean "no". Children need to learn this important lesson.
This is a darling book that addresses a very important subject.
