Touch Physical touch is incredibly important for these kids. They feel comfort and security from being held or having skin-to-skin contact. It’s in their biology.
Hug A big hug can do wonders for a child who appreciates touch. They may need one, especially during times of high emotion or uncertainty. Let your child guide the length and pressure.
Acts of Service While it’s fine to show your love through such small acts, make sure you are not indulging the child so much that they don’t learn a sense of personal responsibility. It’s a balancing act.
Words of Affirmation The child who responds well to words of affirmation will be gleaming when you offer words of praise.
