E27: Parent-Child Positive Touch: How We Touch Our Children Matters A Lot

How we touch our children matters a lot. From the very first hands that are felt by a newborn child, to the loving embrace we share with them as adults, they are receiving powerful communication signals, information about their environment and caregivers, and gaining a sense of where they can feel safe and where they cannot. Whatever imprint of touch we offer a child during their early years becomes what the child is accustomed to, setting the stage for what they believe they deserve to both receive and give. We are wiring their bodies for loving intimacy through touch, either positively or not so positively. In this podcast, I share about powerful ways to form a loving touch-positive relationship with your child. We dive into checking in, consent, honoring a child’s space and reading the energy. We talk about common touch-based transitions that are often sped through or overlooked as intimate moments to be in loving connection with your child. And we share about celebration of touch with cuddles, massage, baby-wearing, and other inspired ways you and your child can play with a consent-based touch-positive connection. It is essential for our child’s survival for us to be in physical contact with them. And based on how we choose to touch and the messages we share through that physical connection, we either inhibit or allow their natural path of thriving.
