One of the things that I like the most after becoming a mother are the expressions of affection that we have between parents and children. An example of this are the hugs that our children love so much and that as parents we must always reciprocate.
But did you know that there are different ways to hug your children? We share the types of hugs you can give your children to show them all your love. What is your favorite?
Effusive hug
It is a hug with which we receive our children with great energy and happiness , extending our arms widely, to later surround them with them and fill them with kisses.
Hug on the fly
Similar to the effusive hug, it is that gesture of affection that we make when we hold our children by the waist or under the armpits and lift them off the ground , and then hug them.
Hug dancing
Usually a continuation of the previous one, the dancing hug is simply that: hugging our children and starting to dance with them without letting go . It works for both children and adults.
Lap hug
Although we usually do this mainly when our children are young, it is one that I believe we should continue to practice even if they are older. As its name says, it consists of having our children sitting on our lap while we hug them .
Bear hug
One of my favorites: the bear hug. It is that big hug and in which we completely wrap our children . He is a very protective and loving one.
Side hug
Although it is not as complete as the bear, it is also a very beautiful one . It happens when we sit next to our children and wrap one of our arms around their shoulders.
This particular hug is one that we can do with our children at any age and we can integrate it into many activities, such as when talking with them or watching a movie.
Tickled hug
Â
Undoubtedly one of the most fun, as it consists of hugging our children and tickling them a little . Ideal for when we want to help them improve their mood or state of mind a little.
Healing embrace
When our children get hurt, the first thing we usually do as parents is run up to them to hug them and try to help their pain subside. A hug that helps to heal .
Hug of comfort or accompaniment
We cannot leave out the hug of comfort or accompaniment, which we usually do when our children are sad or worried . They can also be useful when our children are angry or having a tantrum.
Relaxed hug
It is the hug we give to our children (or they to us) when we are lying on the sofa or bed. But beware: it is so beautiful and relaxing that it could end in a nap .
Sandwich hug
And finally, a hug in which three or more people can participate: the sandwich hug. A very nice hug in which we are all part of a show of affection .
