Do you hug your children before saying good night?

A sound goodnight sleep is what eludes me if I dont give a tight hug to my son and say good night, I feel I am missing something and come back to say the golden words it a good night indeed!

My youngest love her hugs. She always asks for hugs most of the time. There are times when she comes up to me and hugs me or tries to when I am busy. It can be so annoying. My older boy is not into hugs any more. When I do hug him, he goes all shy about it all. There are times he tries to pull away. He is a teenager and he doesn't want hugs much.

Every night and every day prior to nap time. I also tell them I love them anytime I leave the house, drop them off at school etc. I never want to wander if I forgot to tell them how much I love them

I always give my children a hug and a kiss when it's time to be tucked into bed. Anytime I wont see them for a period of time I always tell them I love them and give them hugs and kisses. You never know what can happen and if something ever happened to me when I walked out my front door I would always want my children to remember the last words I said to them and know I will always love them.

I do. Even when I leave for work I tell my daughter good bye and good night. I work nights so that is the only time I get to do that.
