~Jodi~ So very sorry for your loss. You are right it is very hard to say goodbye especially as they become members of our family. I have been there myself; I know how hard it will be when the time comes for our 2 boys that are 11 and 10 this year.

How Do You Feel About Kids Being Forced To Be Affectionate To Others?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28955) • Canada 18 Jul 21

~Jodi~ I honestly think a child(person in general) should be allowed to not hug or accept physical affection from anyone they choose. Like you said some people just dont want to be touched. They should be allowed to make that choice.
