Part of me says one shouldn't feel obligated to accept any unwanted touch, EVER. However, part of me says that sometimes kids refuse hugs from other kids just to be mean, and that's not a good reason. i know that in my own house my youngest will refuse a hug simply because the other child wants to give them one, thus thwarting their desires becomes the impetus for not wanting the hug rather than just not desiring the tactile contact at the time. My older two also have a problem with changing an unwanted touch that originated as horseplay into a claimed "hug" so as not to get in trouble for touching someone who doesn't want to be touched. But that is another issue. i’ll go over there and probably post too, but i don’t have time atm and i do want to comment. i both agree and disagree.
