No todas las personas tienen la dicha de tener hijos, así que si eres una de ellas, dale amor y establece límites con respeto. Recuerda que la humanidad depende de esos niños, ellos son el futuro. Se necesitan adultos empáticos, que amen y respeten los derechos de los demás. El que ama y abraza es feliz, vive en paz y armonía. Y no tiene tiempo para hacer juegos de guerra.

Un abrazo virtual, hasta la próxima. Les quiero.

Hello! Friends and parents of #Motherhood, greetings! I send you a virtual hug and welcome you to the column Help, Grandma! This time, I'll talk about the importance of hugging children and how it influences their attitude, self-esteem, and outlook on life.

Sometimes a hug can make all the difference. It can turn a gray day into a sunny one, and it also helps us find alternatives to solve problems of any kind. Above all, a hug costs nothing. However, some people tend to be selfish and incapable of making this simple gesture, which carries so many positive emotions.

Times change, but people don't. We need to express what we feel; they say you can't give what you don't have. If you don't give love to a child, you shouldn't expect them to be affectionate, to hug you, and to love you. This is very different from respect. Parents who put up a wall tell their children that they can't be their friends because they are their parents. From my point of view, this is a huge mistake.

Children need to be hugged, made to feel loved, important, protected, and understood. This will allow them to release the oxytocin necessary to achieve emotional balance. As a result, their self-esteem will be strengthened, and their anxiety and stress levels will decrease. Above all, they will not seek approval or allow themselves to be manipulated. Lack of self-love and low self-esteem are the result of a lack of love, hugs, and time since childhood.

A person who has no respect for other people or their environment does not maintain stable relationships and acts as if they deserve everything. From my point of view, it is because they lack hugs and a lot of love. They had no contact with nature and did not have a pet. They lived enclosed within four walls with toys, cell phones, and the internet.

Parents of #Motherhood, I respect your opinions, those of all #hive users and the virtual world. I believe that these children, who are now adults, took refuge in a world that does not exist, and that is why the world is upside down. They believe they are omnipotent, that people are toys, and that nuclear weapons do nothing. A generation that does not love because some parents were unable to teach them to love.

Sheila Alcaraz published an article on March 17, 2025, on the website deparenparpsicologia.com, entitled: “The importance of physical contact in childhood: hugs, caresses, and their impact on emotional development,” in which she states the following:

“Physical contact is the bridge that connects children to the world around them, and without it, the foundations of their emotional security and self-confidence could be undermined. The effects of this absence are not limited to childhood; they can extend into adulthood, influencing how they relate to others and how they perceive themselves...” For more information, visit aquí
