All-Day Hug
Help children remember the love of their grown-up when they’re apart.
When challenges and feelings are BIG, there are little things you can do to help things feel easier for your child.
Together with your child, watch this video in which Rosita and her Abuela demonstrate an “all-day hug” that reminds Rosita that she’s loved… even when they’re apart.
Next time you give your child a good-bye hug, try it! Explain:
- A hug can last all day… your love is with them all the time!
- When they’re missing you, they can give themselves a hug to help them remember the hug you just shared.
- When they hug themselves, it helps to imagine the hug they’ll share with you when you’re together again.
