It shows that he recognizes what he needs and isn’t afraid to ask for it – something that can be difficult to do!

Both the pictures you posted here are wonderful!

I am more like you myself. I also tend to get claustrophobic if I’m “glommed” on too long or by too many kids at once. Since I have fibromyalgia, we insist the kids ask for hugs because this slows them down instead of tackling me and hurting me. But, they always get their hugs!

some people are just more into physical contact than others. I am just like you in this regard.
