Need Somebody To Hug

I thought this was vital for all parents.  In Neurology, we learned the importance of sensation, even from the beginning of birth.  From birth to the day we die, we are making new connections between neurons.  This is done by sensations (sight, sound, touch, smell, taste).  These sensations create new connections.  That is why it is so important for an elderly person to be out and about, instead of sitting inside and alone.  That is why it is important to Hug your child.  Studies have shown that hugging your child improves nerve activity.  So Hug like you mean it!
