Hey Pandas, What Is Your Opinion On: Forcing Kids To Give Hugs/Kisses And Relatives Getting Mad When A Kid Refuses?

This might trigger some uncomfortable or traumatic memories, so read at your own risk.

This is something that is a small, almost nonexistent problem in our world, but I still want to hear other people's unbiased takes on this. This is one of many similar posts coming in the next few months.

It should not happen, period. Teaching kids to always listen to adults and allow themselves to be put in uncomfortable situations, even if they are 100% safe, opens up a door to many dangerous situations in the future. Plus, if a kid doesn't like a hug, then LEAVE THEM BE!

As a mom who was molested regularly by my fathers brothers for a decade I say bumpkis! I never forced any action that might lead to molestation being made okay.

I'm always forced to even when I don't want too. It shouldn't happen.

Forced touching is not ok. I, personally, am not a hugger. I love it when grandson wants to hug/kiss me but would never make him do it. His personal space. I respect that. He is just shy of four. Most days, hug and a kiss. Some days, nope. He's good.

I can definitely relate to the 'not a hugger' part. I would hate forced hugs, and literally wrestle the person to get out of their grip.

Kids should have a choice. Forcing it makes the rebellion stronger and some things can be triggered (anxiety) uncontrollably for no reason

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
