During our time together we experience all types of physical play, which has meaning and purpose. Young children often use physical touch to communicate. In this series of photos, FF and JL, who are good buddies, were enjoying an embrace and maintained it for awhile.
When we (Cheryl or Melinda) move to the floor the children each come to us to receive some form of touch (hug, sit on lap, touch hair, etc.). In many ways this physical contact deepens our relationships and it is a human need that is often overlooked or ignored. Children crave that contact and it helps them feel safe and grounded.
