Begging For Affection

Getting affection from children really feels us with happiness. It keeps us all the day fresh, you are correct. But at the same time you should not mind that you have to ask the children for kiss etc. They are just innocent, they do not understand your feeling. Now they are too young, so you must ask for a kiss or hug and not feel bad for it as you are asking to your children. So you should not disappoint on this. Actually children be busy in their interesting work, whatever it may be, playing, watching TV, study etc. It does not mean that they do not love you. Please keep away such thoughts from your mind and also enjoy their other activities watching closly. It will also give you satisfaction when you will start watching the children's act on various subject. Be positive please.

I have a 15 year old daughter and she is the type that doesn't show her emotion other than with anger. I try to give her love and hugs and she pulls away from me. She has done that since she was a little girl. I don't think she understands what showing affection is and means even though I have tried to explain to her the importance of it.

Did you shower your children with as much hugs and kisses as you can when they are very young? I did with my now five year old daughter. She was so hugged and kissed by everybody in the family since she was a baby, that now she has become a very sweet, loving and affectionate girl. She says I love you mom! when she feels like it, writes beautiful letters that she scribbles in my scratch papers writing how much she loves me, and makes envelopes from the same and showers me with kisses everyday. I know if your situation happens to me I would be hurt too. But think about why they act that way and from there you can resolve what's bothering you. Maybe all you need is to show more acts of love and caring in the house no matter how small it is. Lots of hugs and kisses please even if they don't respond to it. In time, when they get accustomed to it, you will eventually enjoy the affection you're asking from your children.

Hi there. I understand what you mean. As mothers we always want our children to give us a hug and a kiss all the time. I for one is a very affectionate mother. I always give my children a hug and a kiss that they reciprocate my actions to them. I strongly feel that if we want affection from our children we should give it first. For instance, i dont have to ask my children to kiss and hug me before they sleep because I always give it to them. Most of the time they say "goodnight mommy, ilove you" with a kiss,before i do.
