A scientific study says that a person needs four hugs a day to survive. That is, in order to be physically and mentally healthy. Because billions of people are not hugged at all every day and are still alive. They need eight hugs to be properly nurtured, and twelve hugs to grow comfortably.

A tight hug, where 2 hearts 'meet' for at least 20 seconds, can be healthy, reduce pain, treat depression, foster a sense of security, increase mutual trust which will ultimately have an impact on openness and honesty, increase the hormone oxytocin which can eliminate feelings of loneliness and feelings of anger, as well as increasing serotonin which can improve mood and cause feelings of happiness.

Hugs can also increase self-confidence, because we feel loved and special, teach give and take, that love is two-way, teach empathy, lower blood pressure, improve memory skills, reduce stress, strengthen bonds, and social behavior and soften a tough personality. , and oh, there are many more that it is impossible to write 1 by 1 here, and the good thing is, hugs have no side effects.

Sometimes we forget to pledge our love and affection through words every day. Putting her in a hug is so much easier. Hugs are a sign of love without words, and all the positive effects that I have mentioned above we can get too (not only those who are hugged, but those who hug also feel the same benefits). Seeing the many positive effects above, it seems that hugs are the best and universal remedy for invisible wounds. One thing that I regret, is it seems that fathers hug their children less often, don't they?

To meet the quota of 4 hugs a day, hug sessions can be bolted. If we call it a hug session. As you might have guessed, once in the morning before school. Once in the afternoon, after returning from school. 1 time in the afternoon after taking a shower, and 1 time at night before going to bed. After hugging for 20 seconds can continue with a story, advice, or whatever.

Have you hugged your child today?
