When we feel happy or sad, hugs are like a big, warm blanket for our feelings. They help us feel safe and close to the people we love. Just like how a baby snuggles up to their mom when they’re tired or scared, hugging is something we do as we grow up, too.
Examples
- When you're excited about a birthday party, your mom gives you a big hug before you leave.
- Your friend cries after getting bad news, and you give them a long hug to comfort them.
- You feel proud of yourself after an exam, and you high-five and then hug your best friend.
