I’m honestly confused why parents and seemingly every adult feels that need to squat when hugging their child?
Why is it that When a toddler, or older child like 7 years old gives an adult a hug, the grown-up always squats? Even when standing your child can easily hug you, so you can easily return their hug. What does squatting have to do with any aspect of a hug? For any parents that have kids in this age range like me, when they give you a hug,
I have two daughters, Hanah who is 7 and Rylee who is 4. I can hug both Hanah and Rylee when I’m standing, and they can give me a hug back.
just stay standing for both kids. See? both of them are hugging, or going in for the hug, alongside the adult just fine. Why wouldn’t you do this with both toddler and 7 year old? Why do grown-ups squat every time?
a few examples of what I’m talking about, imagine in these photos they are giving each other a hug.
