We started the conversation by acknowledging that some adults don’t necessarily show much affection even though they are very caring people and children are the same. 

We spoke about: 

• How there is nothing better than a lovely cuddle from a child and it can feel difficult when a child doesn’t necessarily want this from us.  
• The other ways that children show affection to us. 
• The importance of never expecting children to give hugs or show physical affection 
• 5 Love Languages – how physical touch isn’t always the most important to fulfil children’s affection.  
• Quality time and the importance of this to children.  
• Being the ‘preferred parent’
