Category: Emotional Growth · Duration: ~5 min

1. Say, "Sometimes when I feel sad or tired, a hug makes me feel better. It's like a recharge!" 2. Practice the words: "I need a hug." "Can you sit with me?" "I want to be close." 3. Take turns: your little one asks, and you always say yes. You ask, and they say yes. 4. Talk about when it's okay to ask: anytime. Sad, scared, tired, or just because. 5. Say, "Asking for comfort isn't baby stuff. It's smart. It's knowing what you need."
